Did I deceive you
With my smile?
Can't reveal the truth
So it may take a while
Prepare to lose me, though I told you
I'd stick around
It's no excuse for being cold
But I figured I should spare you now
You oughta know... that
Every time I get closer
Every time I get closer
Suddenly I'll start feeling doubt
Suddenly I will shut you out
The barrier
Of living fear
Can be scarier
When someone's too near
So just get close if you desire
To be in the dark
I'll keep you frozen on a wire
And break your heart
I'll break your heart
Every time I get closer
Every time I get closer
Suddenly I'll start feeling doubt
Suddenly I will shut you out
I'm sorry
It's this way
Don't fall for me
I won't change
I'm sorry
It's this way
Don't fall for me
I won't change
Every time I get closer
Every time I get closer
Suddenly I'll start feeling doubt
Suddenly I will shut you out
Every time I get closer
Every time I get closer
Suddenly I'll start feeling doubt
Suddenly I will shut you out
I'll shut you out
