Just another bar
With loud guitars
Smoke and candles burning low
And the same old boys
Their backs to the bar
Staring across a crowded floor
Then I hear a familiar sound
Your voice laughing out loud
From a distance
I can see you
Dancing slowly
With somebody new
But I can't hold you
Like I want to
But I can love you
From a distance
So I take a chair
In a corner somewhere
You can't see me
But I can look at you
And I remember those times
When I looked in your eyes
The way that he now looks at you
Deep down I know it's over
But it hurts me when he's so much closer
From a distance
I can see you
Dancing slowly
With somebody new
But I can't hold you
Like I want to
But I can love you
From a distance
And if I can't hold you near me
I'll just hold onto your memory
From a distance
I can see you
Dancing slowly
With somebody new
But I can't hold you
Like I want to
But I can love you
From a distance
I'll always love you
From a distance
