[Verse 1] Nothing but a tear, that's all for breakfast Watching you pretend you're unaffected You're pulling our connections, expecting me to let you go But I won't [Pre-Chorus] I know you don't need my protection But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking I love in your direction, hoping that the message goes [Chorus] Somewhere close to you Close to you Like so close if they hurt you, you wouldn't find out Just say now, I'm coming right now, very close to you [Verse 2] Said you let it go, you kept it Working hard to perfect it But now your fear is reckless, and it's out of your control Well just let it go [Pre-Chorus] I know you don't need my protection But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking I love in your direction, hoping that the message goes [Chorus] Somewhere close to you Close to you Like so close, if they hurt you, you wouldn't find out If you let me, I'd be there by now Close to you [Click here to learn more about the making of "Close to You"]
