Lau Heng Yi - Distant Memory Lyrics

I know, it's hard, to wait for me to make the move
Sometimes, I wonder, why I carry on this ruse
Hoping that what we have would last a little longer
Silence, from me, could mean but many different things
You always had a hold on the last of my heartstrings
I still, love you, like I have to very few, but the time keeps running out
Tides come and go I know that you'll only be here once
But I'm just too afraid, just too afraid
So I hide my feelings behind an iron curtain
Place my words carefully in black and white
What we had then was good, although I'm certain
One step forward and I'll still be alright
But now you're just a Distant memory
Written in a story by the foolish me
Been bitten once or twice by reality
Yet I refuse to learn until you've made me grieve
The ship, you sailed, seem to drift away from shore
I guess, I lost, opportunities for more
I failed to anchor down my chance before it faded
Took me, way too long, to realize that you're the one
You moved, ahead, when I didn't try to run
You have been playing, this game for two alone, and I'm the one to blame
Tides come and go I know that you'll only be here once
But I'm just too afraid, just too afraid
So I hide my feelings behind an iron curtain
Place my words carefully in black and white
What we had then was good, although I'm certain
One step forward and I'll still be alright
But now you're just a Distant memory
Written in a story by the foolish me
Been bitten once or twice by reality
Yet I refuse to learn until you've made me grieve
Why can't I have shown to you, how I felt about you then
Why did I still fear that you, won't feel the same
Why did I look back and worry when It's already too late
To make a change, it won't matter anyway
Cause now you're just a Distant memory
When we were close I enjoyed your company
All I did was leave and let you be
And now you're but a distant memory
