"love me from a distance" lyrics

I don't even know why I'm holding on
But saying it out loud kinda just feels wrong
Living in the moment can feel so alone
(Living in the moment can feel so alone)
I'm always saying

I need some time to be by myself
But when I see you, I can't even help
Losing all my senses, you leave me defenseless
Baby I can love you but you know my defenses

I don't wanna need you while I'm healing
I don't wanna be picking up pieces
And I know you could leave
So I'ma let you love me from a distance

A couple drinks in, finally said what I mean
Where the hell is holding back even really getting me?
When I could be living my truth, you know what I gotta do
Baby I know it's you
I'm always saying

I need some time to be by myself
But when I see you, I can't even help
Hopping on the freeway to finish what we started
I don't even care if I end up brokenhearted

I don't wanna need you while I'm healing
I don't wanna be picking up pieces
And I know you could leave
So I'ma let you love me from a distance
I don't wanna need you while I'm healing
I don't wanna be picking up pieces
And I know you could leave
So I'ma let you love me from a distance

I'ma let you love
I'ma let you love me from a
I'ma let you love
I'ma let you love me from a distance
From a distance
