Closer To You

I traded it all to get closer to you.
The life that I had is gone now.
Everything that I thought I knew
has all gone away. Can’t move on now.

I wanted to touch. I wanted to feel.
To know that it’s true. To know that it’s real.
You took every doubt and you threw it away
and now I pay because

I’m closer to the edge. Closer to the pain.
Closer to my death. It’s driving me insane.
I fall into your eyes and then I realize
I don’t wanna live without you anymore.

I’d trade even more to get closer to you.
The more that I get, the more I know it won’t do.
I didn’t know that I was playing with fire,
now I’m lost in an impossible desire.

You’re better than I thought that anyone could be.
You don’t even know you have this power over me.
I thought it would change, that it would just go away,
but it’s here to stay and now

I don’t wanna live without you.
Take this pain away.
I’m begging you.

Closer to the end. Closer to the fall.
I wanna be your friend. I wanna have it all.
I wanna belong to you and I’m not gonna live
unless I’m closer to you.
