From a Distance

I'm trying to find the words to tell you why I'm all alone Like why I spend my time writing these same ol' fucking songs And why when you be texting me I sit and watch my phone I never answer when you call, but love to hear the (Please leave a message at the tone) I need to talk to someone, I can't do this on my own But I keep all my secrets on the low like baritone I'm thuggish-ruggish, mean sometimes I'm Krayzie to the Bone I fake the harmony It's easier when I'm alone So boy, I'm sorry That I can't say the things I want to say But I can promise That if I told you, you won’t want to stay I’d rather love you from a distance I’d rather be the one that got away I’d rather be the girl you missing Than tell the truth and watch you walk away
