It's become clear you may have cared, But deep inside, you still prepared. I took your flaws and loved them all, But you used mine to break my heart. You made your vows, then told me lies I should have seen it in your eyes. It wasn’t love—it was just a face, A borrowed smile, a staged embrace. And now you live so proud and free, Telling the world you’re rid of me. That I was just a wrong, a phase, A bump you hit along the way. You’ll shape the tale, control their view, Until they loathe me just like you. But still, my heart won’t shut you out Of what we had, I hold no doubt. To me, I’ll always care for you, Be near if pain comes breaking through. And when they ask, “What was she like?” I’ll smile and say, “She was my light.” I’ll always love you, that won’t die But now I do it from the side

Love From Afar
It's become clear you may have cared, But deep inside, you still prepared. I took your flaws and loved them all, But you used mine to break my heart. You made your vows, then told me lies I should have seen it in your eyes. It wasn’t love—it was just a face, A borrowed smile, a staged embrace. And now you live so proud and free, Telling the world you’re rid of me. That I was just a wrong, a phase, A bump you hit along the way. You’ll shape the tale, control their view, Until they loathe me just like you. But still, my heart won’t shut you out Of what we had, I hold no doubt. To me, I’ll always care for you, Be near if pain comes breaking through. And when they ask, “What was she like?” I’ll smile and say, “She was my light.” I’ll always love you, that won’t die But now I do it from the side
