I heard you on the phone, I had you in mind
I've been on the run since you walked through the hallway
Heard it all before, I don't even mind
I'll do anything, pull me in and I'm far away

You're right there
But I won't say that I'm standin', I'm right here
When I see you, I panic
So scared of the way it might pan out

Well, I don't want to say that this was all it was
Tryin' not to stay, but that just made it worse
I've been keepin' my distance
Well, I just wanna know what you're thinkin'
I just can't explain the way it hurts
Now that what we had is gone
I don't have the words
I'm so bad at playin' along
Savin' my feelings
I've been keepin' my distance

I talked about it last night, thought I was fine
Helped you pack your things, put your bags in the hallway
Maybе in a past life, problems aside
Wе could make it home, I'd hear you when you're callin'

You're right there
But I won't say that I'm standin', I'm right here
When I see you, I panic
So scared of the way it might pan out

Well, I don't want to say that this was all it was
Tryin' not to stay, but that just made it worse
I've been keepin' my distance
Well, I just wanna know what you're thinkin'
I just can't explain the way it hurts
Now that what we had is gone
I don't have the words
I'm so bad at playin' along
Savin' my feelings
I've been keepin' my distance

I've been feelin' so high on the way down
Hope I get another chance, 'cause I know I wouldn't
Wouldn't let you pass by, wouldn't even think twice
Let you out of my mind, I don't even know why
I've been feelin' so high on the way down
Said you treated me bad, 'cause you know I couldn't
Mmm, you know I couldn't

Well, I don't want to say that this was all it was
Tryin' not to stay, but that just made it worse
I've been keepin' my distance
I just wanna know what you're thinkin'
I just can't explain the way it hurts
Now that what we had is gone
I don't have the words
I'm so bad at playin' along
Savin' my feelings
I've been keepin' my distance
