Loving you from afar

I watch you every day but you don't see me Smile at your words like I'm just a memory I've been hiding in the shadows of your light Loving you in silence while you're out of sight You don't know how it feels to want you this way To want your touch but know you won't stay I'm stuck in a dream that I can't escape Hoping one day you might feel the same But every time I reach for you You pull away I'm standing here but you're miles, miles away I'm loving you from afar, wishing on a star That one day you'd see me, just who we are I'm holding on but it's tearing me apart I'm loving you, baby, loving you from afar You don't know how deep this ache can go But I keep hoping you'll feel it and let me know I'm loving you, loving you from afar I see the way you left but it's not for me I see the way you love but it's someone else you need I don't wanna feel this pain but I can't let go Caught in the signs of a love you'll never know Every glance you give me feels like it's a lie I'm standing here waiting, just asking why But I'll stay in the back, I'll await my turn I'll carry this fire even though it burns But every time I reach for you, you pull away I'm standing here but you're miles, miles away I'm loving you from afar, wishing on a star That one day you'd see me, just who we are I'm holding on but it's tearing me apart I'm loving you, baby, loving you from afar You don't know how deep this ache can go But I keep hoping you'll feel it and let me know I'm loving you, loving you from afar I don't wanna let go but I can't keep fighting For a love that's not mine, for a dream that's dying But I'll still keep holding in the quiet of the night Loving you, though I know you'll never be mine I'm loving you from afar, wishing on a star That one day you'd see me, just who we are I'm holding on but it's tearing me apart I'm loving you, baby, loving you from afar You don't know how deep this ache can go But I keep hoping you'll feel it and let me know I'm loving you, loving you from afar Loving you from afar, wishing you'd be the one to come to me Loving you from afar, but maybe that's all it's meant to be
