LOVE YOU FROM AFAR

I…have power you don’t understand
To create…but I could crush this with my hands

All it takes is one mistake
One kiss to tempt both you and fate
A place we cannot come back from
Once it has begun

I could break apart most things I’ve got
Intentional or not…
The poison seeps under our skin
Dissolves this from within…

**CHORUS**
But I…I will not destroy this life
No I…I will not destroy us this time
I will fight this
I’ll deny this
If it tears me apart
And I will always love you
But secretly…
And from afar…

It’s true…sometimes strange thoughts cross my mind
Of you…and I…uninhibited and blind

All it takes is one false move
Lock ourselves in this room
Set fire to our bodies
And the possibilities

All we have are open doors
But one stays shut we can’t explore…
Whatever you do…don’t turn the handle
Don't turn the handle...

**Chorus**
Cause I…I will not destroy this life
No I…I will not destroy us this time
I will fight this
I’ll deny this
If it tears me apart
And I will always love you
But secretly…
And from afar…

Lock down your heart
Get your hammer out
And nail down that tarp
Get it covered up
I’m not going to tell you twice
We don’t want this…
We don’t want to have to decide
We don’t want this…

All it takes…a second look
And then we’re baited on that hook
Whatever I do…whatever I say
Don’t look at me that fatal way…

**Chorus**
Cause I…I will not destroy this life
No I…I will not destroy us this time
I will fight this
I’ll deny this
If it tears me apart
And I will always love you
But secretly…
And from afar…

Love you from afar…
Love you from afar…
