Three Days to See Your Face Verse 1 Four years started with a screen, Two hearts living miles apart, I never knew a distance Could still feel so close to my heart. I counted down the days and hours, Dreaming of the day we'd meet, Then I got on that bus for three long days Just to finally see your face. When I got there, I felt safe, Like I'd finally found my place, After all those nights of missing you, I could finally hold your hand. I thought that feeling meant forever, I thought we'd never fall apart, I didn't know the person I loved Would become my first broken heart. Chorus I don't wanna miss you, But I miss the way we were, I miss all of the happy days, Before everything got blurred. I miss the little memories, The moments I can't erase, I wish I could close my eyes tonight And make them disappear without a trace. You made promises you couldn't keep, And I kept waiting anyway, I told you that I was hurting, But you kept pushing me away. I didn't want to leave you, God, I fought so hard to stay, But sometimes loving someone Means knowing when to walk away. Verse 2 We started arguing more often, Words became harder to say, I was reaching out for comfort, You were looking the other way. I kept thinking we'd get better, That tomorrow would be new, But I was hurting right beside you And still feeling alone with you. I remember all the laughter, All the dreams we used to share, The days when I believed completely That you'd always still be there. Now those memories keep coming When I'm trying to fall asleep, And I wish my mind would let them go, But my heart still wants to keep. Chorus I don't wanna miss you, But I miss the way we were, I miss all of the happy days, Before everything got blurred. I miss the little memories, The moments I can't erase, I wish I could close my eyes tonight And make them disappear without a trace. You made promises you couldn't keep, And I kept waiting anyway, I told you that I was hurting, But you kept pushing me away. I didn't want to leave you, God, I fought so hard to stay, But sometimes loving someone Means knowing when to walk away. Bridge And I still cry sometimes, Because leaving didn't mean I stopped caring. I didn't walk away because I hated you, I walked away because I was hurting. Four years don't vanish Just because you say goodbye. You don't forget a whole chapter Just because you close the book that night. Maybe one day I'll remember Without wishing I could go back, Maybe I'll smile at the good days Without feeling my heart crack. Final Chorus I don't wanna miss you forever, I just miss who we used to be. I miss the girl who felt so happy, I miss who you were to me. I miss those days before the fighting, Before the promises fell through, Before I learned that loving someone Doesn't mean they won't hurt you. I didn't want to leave you, But I had to choose myself. And even though I'm crying now, I'm slowly learning how to heal. Three days just to see your face, Four years I gave my heart, You were my first great love, And my first heartbreak from the start. Outro So if these memories keep coming, I'll let them pass me by. I don't have to erase the good days Just because we said goodbye. You were a part of my story, But you don't have to be the end. I'll always remember what we had— I just won't let it break me again.
