Maybe it’s better to love you from a distance
Because how am I supposed to witness
You falling in love with someone new
Doing all of the things we used to do
Is it foolish to think we could ever be friends
Are we just in the same place again
Knowing that things will inevitably come to an end
Lying to ourselves and to each other
Pretending like we could ever love another
Knowing that we love each other so deeply
Knowing that saying goodbye makes us weepy
Knowing that I was your first real love and you were mine
And perhaps we’ll love each other until the end of time
But maybe we should love each other from a distance
Because I know it’ll hurt to witness
You moving on with someone new
When it could’ve should’ve would’ve been me and you.
