Verse 1

Sometimes I wish,

Just once, I could say it all,

Instead of sitting here silently,

Listening to you talk about him,

With eyes that light up the room.

And sometimes you turn away,

Avoiding my gaze,

As if you already know everything

I’m too afraid to say.

Pre-Chorus

I can’t interrupt,

Can’t let a single tear fall,

So I step back and take it all.

Chorus

I step back to see you more clearly,

To love you from afar, sincerely.

My whole world shrinks down

To the size of one girl.

And I’ll stay quietly near,

Though I can’t hold your hand,

Walking this road we’ll share

For as long as it can.

From that moment, my eyes

Found a freedom so rare.

Verse 2

Don’t try to stop me,

Don’t tell me to let it go.

Loving isn’t a crime,

Even if it hurts, I know.

We all dream of waking up,

To see someone lying close,

Breathing softly, at peace,

The one we love the most.

Pre-Chorus

But I’ll keep my distance,

Keep my heart quietly hidden,

Loving you without permission.

Chorus

I step back to see you more clearly,

To love you from afar, sincerely.

My whole world shrinks down

To the size of one girl.

And I’ll stay quietly near,

Though I can’t hold your hand,

Walking this road we’ll share

For as long as it can.

From that moment, my eyes

Found a freedom so rare.

Bridge

Why couldn’t we meet in another time?

When the stars would align,

When your heart could be mine?

I’ll carry this love through every space,

Even if it’s not returned, it stays.

Chorus

I step back to see you more clearly,

To love you from afar, sincerely.

My whole world shrinks down

To the size of one girl.

And I’ll stay quietly near,

Though I can’t hold your hand,

Walking this road we’ll share

For as long as it can.

Outro

From that moment, my eyes

Found a freedom so rare.

And I wonder why fate

Didn’t let me find you earlier.
