If I stand too close I might fall in

 But if I’m too far gone I’ll never win

 If you believe in me I might just want

 to spend some time with you again

 I’m afraid I tend to disappear

 Into an anxious state when you draw near

 There is no reasoning it’s quite a silly thing

 But it’s the way I’ve been for years

 So I will understand if you don’t stay

 They say I’m great at first but then the magic fades

 Into an awful you of dismal views

 and pessimistic attitude

All this distance years of sweet resistance

Swirling over head like angry clouds of discontent

,, 3x

 I have apologised a billion times

 When I’ve gone off the wall like Busta Rhymes

 And pulled a stupid stunt that left you thinking

 there was something wrong with me

 you’ve thrown a few choice phrases at my way

 And I’ve ignored them all as best I could

 Except that tiny bit how I just can’t commit

 There is some truth in what you say

All this distance years of sweet resistance

Swirling over head like angry clouds of discontent

 If I stand too close I might fall in

 But if I’m too far gone I’ll never win

 If you believe in me I might just want

 To spend some time with you again

 I spent some time with you again

 If I stand too close I might fall in

 But if I’m too far gone I’ll never win

 If you believe in me I might just want

 To spend some time with you again
