[Verse 1]
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
But it also makes the heart forget
How it felt to love him and how it felt to be loved back
Memories grow toxic
They eat me from within
And I'm dying to remember how it felt back then
[Bridge]
I never thought I'd miss the silence
I never knew it tasted so sweet
Till all that I was left with was a message on a screen
[Chorus]
But it's better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all
I sink deeper every time you're not around to break the fall
And I don't quite know, when I be okay
Time moves on, here I'll stay
[Verse 2]
And every day I'm asking, is this all worth the cost
I'm trying dear but I can't bring back what we've lost
Well honey I surrender, you brought me to my knees
And I need is one day to make this pain worth the disease
[Bridge 2]
I never thought I'd miss the silence
I never knew it tasted so sweet
Till all that I was left with (was) your shadow holding me
[Chorus]
But it's better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all
I sink deeper every time you're not around to break the fall
And I don't quite know, when I be okay
Time moves on, here I'll stay
[Post Chorus]
Distance grows, so do we
I lose hope each time you leave
[Chorus]
But it's better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all
I sink deeper every time you're not around to break the fall
And I don't quite know, when I be okay
Time moves on, here I'll stay
Time moves on, here I'll stay
