Verse 1] I know you love me And you know I love you too We felt it from the moment Our eyes said what our mouths couldn’t do I know you miss me And you know I miss you too There’s pieces of your energy Still wrapped around my room [Pre-Chorus] The way we touched… It was more than just a spark Our bodies spoke a language We felt deep inside the dark [Chorus] Our sexual chemistry was out of this world A pull so strong, it swallowed us whole When we first saw each other We both knew what it was A soul-to-soul moment Not just lust, but love But still… We’re better apart Even though you stay in my heart Better apart Even though this was love from the start We knew, deep down We’d lose ourselves if we stayed Better apart But love don’t fade [Verse 2] You were familiar Like a memory I never lived A comfort and a fire All wrapped inside your kiss We tried to hold it But the timing wasn’t right Sometimes two souls connect But can’t survive in the light [Pre-Chorus] And even now… I feel you when I breathe Some love ain’t meant forever But it’s still meant to be [Chorus] Our sexual chemistry was out of this world A force too real for either of us to tame When we first touched each other We both felt our names Written on the same flame But still… We’re better apart Even though you stay in my heart Better apart Even though this was love from the start We knew, deep down We’d lose ourselves if we stayed Better apart But love don’t fade [Bridge – soft, emotional, whispery] I love you… You love me… But love don’t always mean We’re meant to stay Sometimes loving someone Means walking away [Outro] I know you love me And you know I love you too I know you miss me And you know I miss you too But baby… We’re better apart Even if my soul remembers you
