I felt so close to tears today
I had to take a walk
To make it go away
Wrapped up in your coat last night
I put your arm in mine
All in my mind
You're so close
You tell me something good
It's so hard to hide this like i should
I'm still so close to tears today
This walk is only taking me
Further away
Tonight you'll see me in a different light
I have to leave without
Saying good-bye
You're so near
You tell me something dear
It's only all the good things you fear
Maybe i should move away
You would only love me if you stayed
You would only love me if you stayed
You would only love me if you stayed
