I have kept my distance
Independent
On my own
A superficial witness
With love I'd 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?
(Away, away, away, 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
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'd reach for affection
But it only slips away
(Away, away, away, 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

Yeah, I wanna be
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
Yet, I find it hurts the most
When you try and you try and you try
And you're not close enough
And I try
(Love)
And you try
(Try and try)
Ooo how I try
(Try and love)
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm trying, I'm trying
But you're not close enough
(Love)
(Try and try)
(But you're not close enough)
