Lyrics

Close
Ed Verner © 2013

Come really close and I'll open my heart
Open my heart and there's no one close
You think I would have learned
You think I'd have learned by now
To wait until I'm sure

But she's never been straight with me
She's never told me why
Deep down inside of me
I know there's a reason
Deep down inside I know there's a reason
Why she hides

All through my life they tell me to say what I feel
The edge of a knife, I have to come real close if it's real
You think I would have learned
You think I'd have learned by now
To wait until I'm sure

But she's never been straight with me
She's never told me why
Deep down inside of me
I know there's a reason
Deep down inside I know there's a reason
Why she hides

I had to confide - It seemed like she got so close
I couldn't have lied - The world is full of people who tried
They left all their feelings aside
Now like the lonely they hide
They left all their feelings aside - She snapped at me I held my tongue
Now like the lonely they hide - She makes me feel smart and dumb
I couldn't have lied if I tried - Sometimes I just go numb
I'd rather have been wrong
Than held in my feelings so long
