It's been a while since the day that I left town
Since the day that I let the both of us down
It's been a year full of struggle
A year full of tears
A year full of heartache
But that's not why I'm here
If I could just go back to the beginning
I'd let you know in that moment
Let you know then and there
Let you know what I feel
And let you know that I care
But time won't let me go back
Years don't count backwards
We're no longer intact
And I can't take back my words
So hello from afar
I was hoping that you'd be the one to
Remember who we are
Cause I'm starting to forget and my mind's a wreck so
Hello from afar
It's been awhile and I'd love to see you smile
But you won't give me the chance
Maybe we'll look back ten years from now
Knowing then what we already know now
I would take it back in a heartbeat
But I had to let you go so I could find me
So hello from afar
I was hoping that you'd be the one to
Remember who we are
Cause I'm starting to forget and my mind's a wreck so
Hello from afar
It's been awhile and I'd love to see you smile
But you won't give me the chance
