[Intro]
You say you want the truth
You never let it through
You say you’re not afraid
Then you run from every bruise
[Verse 1]
You talk big
But you fold quick
Every promise that you made
Just a cold trick
I keep bleeding for a shot
You keep aiming for the vein
Turn my open hands to fists
Just to feel something again
[Chorus]
The closer I get to you
The further you push me away (away)
You build another wall
Every time that I stay
You say that you’re breaking too
But you’re breaking me every day
The closer I get to you
The further you push me away
[Verse 2]
You want space
But you drag me
Every word a little cut
Till you tag me
As the problem, as the ghost
That you painted on the glass
But it’s your reflection cracking
Every time that we clash
[Pre-Chorus]
How do I fix what you won’t face?
How do I chase what won’t be chased?
I’m out of breath from this dead sprint
You turn your back
Then ask where I went
[Chorus]
The closer I get to you
The further you push me away (hey)
You build another wall
Every time that I stay
You say that you’re breaking too
But you’re breaking me every day
The closer I get to you
The further you push me away
[Bridge]
I’m done begging for a touch
That burns me every time (every time)
You call it love
But I call it crossing lines
I’m stepping back
From the edge you made my home
‘Cause I’d rather stand alone
Than be this close and feel this cold (yeah)
[Chorus]
The closer I get to you
The further you push me away
You build another wall
Every time that I stay
You say that you’re breaking too
But you’re breaking me every day
The closer I get to you
The further you push me away (push me away)
[Outro]
You want the truth?
You had it every day
The closer I get to you
The more I fade away
