Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said you're never gonna make me cry, want me to be myself
Never gonna lose again, you're the reason why
I'm never gonna be your bliss, you're gonna change my ending
Never gonna make a mess, we always gonna make a mess
[PreChorus]
Time out
This time, this time
Time to hear my side
I give you all mine, so time out
It's mine now
Ooh, I
'Cause I fell in love with potential
'Cause you made your heart unavailable
Hey, yeah, hey
[Chorus]
I need to love you from a distance
Tired of fighting for attention
How much do you really listen?
When I need you, you're always missing
I need to love you from a distance
I'm not asking for permission
I tried about everything
You can't put it all on me from a distance
[Verse 2]
You said you were gonna be my peace
And if I'ma ride for you, you was gon' ride for me
Now all we do is disagree
Don't know where we went wrong
This ain't it for me
[PreChorus]
No, no
This time, this time
You gonna hear my side
I gave you all mine, time out
It's mine
You know
'Cause I fell in love with potential
Oh, yeah
'Cause you made your heart unavailable
A thousand times
That's why
[Chorus]
I need to love you from a distance
Tired of fighting for attention
How much do you really listen? (How much do you really want from me?)
When I need you, you're always missing (You're never really there)
I need to love you from a distance (Love you from a distance)
I'm not asking for permission (Ooh, ooh)
I tried about everything (Tried about everything, everything, yeah)
You can't put it all on me from a distance
