Lyrics
Closer To You
I don?t care about the money
Only care about the time
And when you talk about tomorrow
I hope it?s yours and mine
Honey why can?t you see
I just want to be
Closer to you
Bitter words have been spoken
And we carry the pain
Too proud to let go now
Too easy to find blame
Honey why can?t you see
I just want to be
Closer to you
We were lost to each other
We were chasing the dream
But love comes unraveled
When it?s pull at the seam
Honey why can?t you see
I just want to be
Closer to you
I won?t promise you the future
And I can?t deny the past
But I hate these lonely feelings
And the shadows that they cast
Honey why can?t you see
I just want to be
Closer to you
We were lost to each other
We were chasing the dream
But love comes unraveled
When it?s pull at the seam
Honey why can?t you see
I just want to be
Closer to you
