Closer - Aimer

I stand behind these lies

While I fall apart inside

There’s no one to tell me why

Did I ever close my eyes to see?

Colours seem to fade

To this melancholy state

Who says what am I to change?

Did I ever take the time to breathe?

Can you keep me in the dark

And never let me see

The light can be so much worse

And I feel it slip away

One last good memory

Our time has come and gone

I’m fading away

A little bit closer

To that moment

I’m standing next to you

But I know

How this story will unfold

A little bit farther

Till I’m caught up

To what I’m running from

But I know the end

It always ends with you

Try to hold onto the pain

The one thing that won’t change

It’s keeping me grounded

And the one reality

Starts slipping away

And crumbles all around me

I’m fading away

A little bit closer

To that moment

I’m standing next to you

But I know

How this story will unfold

A little bit farther

Till I’m caught up

To what I’m running from

But I know the end

It always ends with you

(It always ends with you)

I stand behind these lies

While I fall apart inside

There’s no one to tell me why

Did I ever close my eyes to see?

Colours seem to fade

To this melancholy state

Who says what am I to change?

A little bit closer

To that moment

I’m standing next to you

But I know

How this story will unfold

A little bit jaded

Can’t take it

There’s only one way out

So I know the end

It always ends with you

It always ends with you
