Toxic (Love from a Distance) - nobodybutsunder

I could never say we could go back and be how it used to But every time I think back to late summer in July, I still miss you And now our families don't even say a word I used to come over every Friday after work But that was before all the pain you caused me And all the lies you told, it's haunting I still see your face when I go to sleep I'll always love you, will you always love me? I hate that all these memories are so persistent And now I know (I know, I know) I know how hard it is to move on with my life When all of these daydreams come back to me at night I hate that it will take time to forget this And now I know It's better to love you from a distance (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) To love you from a distance (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) Remember when I'd drive you home 'cause you didn't have your license We were windows down cruising, thinking, "Damn, I really like him" And then I went out and got a new car So it didn't break down when we would drive too far But that was before all the rain starting falling And summer turned into autumn I still see your face when I go to sleep I'll always love you, will you always love me? I hate that all these memories are so persistent And now I know (I know, I know) I know how hard it is to move on with my life When all of these daydreams come back to me at night I hate that it will take time to forget this And now I know It's better to love you from a distance (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) To love you from a distance (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I hate that I still miss you (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I wish I could forget you (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I hate that I still miss you (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I wish I could forget you (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I still see your face when I go to sleep I'll always love you, will you always love me? I hate that all these memories are so persistent And now I know I know how hard it is to move on with my life When all of these daydreams come back to me at night I hate that it will take time to forget this And now I know It's better to love you from a distance (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) To love you from a distance

I hope it's not gonna be long No, please Don't make it long now I see love from a distance Coming but slowly I know it's gonna last forever I feel us coming closer, closer and closer It's the time we get it together I know you done a lot of wrongs But I'm willing to forgive No one has the right to decide How the other man should live Sometimes we should stop and count to ten Before we make each other hurt 'Cause later on, you realize It really had no worth I see love from a distance Coming but slowly I know it's gonna last forever I feel us getting closer, closer and closer It's the time we get together Mama, she's taught us for so long With the right, the fool we teach And the wisdom in her eyes Kept me safe through all the years Made me grow to understand That there's still good folks around And to keep me in your heart Is to be on solid ground I see love from a distance Coming but slowly I know it's gonna last forever I feel us getting closer, closer and closer It's the time we get it together Whoa-oh, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa I see love from a distance Coming but slowly I know it's gonna last forever I feel us getting closer, closer and closer It's the time we get it together Oh- nah I see love (I see love) from a distance Coming but slowly (coming but slowly) I know it's gonna last forever (I know it's gonna last forever) I feel us coming closer, closer and closer Oh, yeah It's the time we get together I see love from a distance Coming but slowly I know it's gonna last forever It's gonna get you, yeah, it's gonna get you, yeah I feel us getting closer (I feel us getting closer, yeah) It's the time we get together

Just another bar With loud guitars Smoke and candles burning low And the same old boys Their backs to the bar Staring across a crowded floor Then I hear a familiar sound Your voice's laughing out loud From a distance I can see you Dancing slowly with somebody new But I can't hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance So I take a chair In a corner somewhere You can't see me But I can look at you And I remember those times When I looked in your eyes The way that he now looks at you Deep down I know it's over But it hurts me when he's so much closer From a distance I can see you Dancing slowly with somebody new But I can't hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance And if I can't hold you near me I'll just hold onto your memory From a distance I can see you Dancing slowly with somebody new But I can't hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance I'll always love you from a distance
