Don't come close



With every step you made,
there is a step I take,
to keep the distance up,
and emotions down ...

With every call you made,
it's the silence that I won't break,
to keep all the words,
locked up where they belong ...

With every touch you try,
with every tear run dry,
I can feel it more and more ...

Don't come near,
don't come close.
it's the heartbreak that I'll fear,
may I'm "your love",
may I'm "your love me not",
and for sure,
this love is not all you got ...

But I'm so afraid to hurt you,
once when we meet,
one heart will follow,
and one will go a one-way street ...

With every smile you give,
I see the hours that we live,
with colors fade to grey,
and harmony lost,
somewhere on our way ...

With every word you say,
I wish it's only a game you play,
just to keep things rolling,
for fun and nothing more ...

But with every touch you try,
with every tear run dry,
I can feel it more and more ...

Don't come near,
don't come close.
it's the heartbreak that I'll fear,
may I'm "your love",
may I'm "your love me not",
and for sure,
this love is not all you got ...

But I'm so afraid to hurt you,
once when we meet,
your heart will follow,
but mine will take the one-way street ...
