Don't Walk Away

I have kept my distance

Independent on my own

A superficial witness

With love I touch and go

Could it be for my own protection

I have only gone halfway?

Could it be my fear of rejection

Drove your love away?

I say don't get too close

Protect yourself from love

It's hard to stay afloat

When you try and you try and you try

I say don't get too close

Protect yourself from love

Yet I find it hurts the most

When you try and you try and you try

And you're not close enough

Close enough

A crowded room of people I pretend to know

I'd rather be a stranger, I choose to walk alone

Could it be living on the outside

Is much more than I can take?

Honestly I reach for affection

But it only slips away

I say don't get too close

Protect yourself from love

It's hard to stay afloat

When you try and you try and you try

I say don't get too close

Protect yourself from love

Yet I find it hurts the most

When you try and you try and you try

And you're not close enough

Close enough

I say don't get too close

Protect yourself from love

It's hard to stay afloat

When you try and you try and you try

I say don't get too close

Protect yourself from love

And I find it hurts the most

When you try and you try and you try

And you're not close enough

I try and I try and I try and

I try and I try and

But you're not close enough
