from a distance

never a constant
always coming and going
 leaving me confused
always wondering and never knowing
claiming you love me
 but showing me different
my energy and tolerance exhausted
 but I can't get back time spent
 you are a hard lesson
 but one I had to learn
 love is a Battlefield
 it's striped I certainly did earn
 I'm moving forward
 that's all I can really do
I need to fix myself
and stop trying to save you
thank you for the good times
 all the laughs and the memories
 but I can't love you anymore
 I got to put my mind at ease
 we are drawn to each other
and I know we will meet again
 but I have to love you from a distance
 cause we are over
and you can never be more than a friend
