There were times that I had wished for you and I to be close
For our arms to lock into a warm embrace
But sooner or later the demons would get to you
They would use you as a stepping stone
To try and get to me
I would and could never permit that to happen
So in order to keep you safe
I have to keep my distance
At the cost of my own happiness
I have learned to love you from afar
