Closer Songtext
von Tom Jackson

Empty dreams
And promises that you and I can′t hold
Make believe
Through all the smiles, we hide our sorrows
Everything
Is telling us that we should let this go
But I can't let you go

We act like things are alright
But we both know the truth
You say you don′t wanna talk
That's all I get from you
We're trying hard to survive
But we won′t ever mend
Why can′t we just let this end?


Don't go
When you′re not here, I need you
But I can't stand to argue
When everything says it′s over
That's when I hold you closer
It′s never-ending
Are we just pretending?
I really hoped we'd fix this
Are we just scared we'll miss it?

Broken glass
On the floor from fights we had before
Bouncing back
With empty words to keep you from that door
Holding on
We know it′s wrong, but we just can′t make the call
Oh, I need you to call

We act like things are alright
But we both know the truth
You say you don't wanna talk
That′s all I get from you
We're trying hard to survive
But we won′t ever mend
Why can't we just let this end?


Don′t go
When you're not here, I need you
But I can't stand to argue
When everything says it′s over
That′s when I hold you closer
It's never-ending
Are we just pretending?
I really hoped we′d fix this
Are we just scared we'll miss it?

That′s when I hold you close
That's when I needed you the most
When everything says it′s over
That's when I hold you closer
