Close As Hell
1.
You said that you were leaving
Because our love was dying
And you said I knew that just as much as you
Well that’s a one-way conversation
Of a one-way explanation
Cos’ you closed the door as I said, ‘that’s not true’
Chorus:
Oh, there’s no use my refuting
A love that’s been forsaken
You wouldn’t listen to the tale I’d tell
That the nearest I got to heaven,
While my heart is still beating
Is when I got to hold you close as hell
2.
How come you think you knew me
When we only talked about you
We spun our world around you, that’s my bad
And only now I’m really talking
Though I know you’re out there walking
Feeling bitter sweet on the sugar side of sad
Chorus:
Oh, there’s no use my refuting
A love that’s been forsaken
You wouldn’t listen to the tale I’d tell
That the nearest I got to heaven,
While my heart is still beating
Is when I got to hold you close as hell
Bridge:
Walk away, oh please, walk away
‘Cos now I know one thing is really true
You never loved me; you never truly loved me
Least not the way that I was loving you
Chorus:
Oh, there’s no use my refuting
A love that’s been forsaken
You wouldn’t listen to the tale I’d tell
That the nearest I got to heaven,
While my heart is still beating
Is when I got to hold you close as hell
