Why would I step outside
Even though I'm missing you
Tonight I'll try to navigate the pain (navigate the pain)
We slip and slide, between the lines
I know that you’re hiding what’s inside
Can’t lie, ‘cause I do the same (‘cause I do the same)
I'm sick and tired of grieving
I'm running out of reasons
From this day I’ll love you from afar
If you stay on the westside
I’ll stay in the canyon
We’ll pretend that we’re strangers
Like we never happened
If you stay on the westside
I’ll be in the valley
You know I wanna see you
But I want us to be happy
Hey, hey
It’s better to love you, that way
Hey, hey
It’s better to love you that way
City lights and sleepless nights
We use you for your name, it's by design
New friends, everywhere you go
But when that day, comes around
And I see you walking through the crowd
I’ll smile but I won’t let it show
I'm sick and tired of grieving
I'm running out of reasons
From this day I’ll love you from afar
If you stay on the westside
I’ll stay in the canyon
We’ll pretend that we’re strangers
Like we never happened
If you stay on the westside
I’ll be in the valley
You know I wanna see you
But I want us to be happy
Hey, hey
It’s better to love you, that way
Hey, hey
It’s better to love you that way
I only call you when it’s late night
I know that we ain’t saying goodbye
Now I'm a thousand miles away
I'm sitting in the dark since you took my light
I can’t call you so I write
Now that I know what to say (what to say)
Hey, hey
It’s better to love you, that way
