Story Behind The Song

So close, but still so far. We almost made it. "Almost" wasn't good enough.

Lyrics

VERSE 1:
We both pretend we don't sleep in
A burning room
You said you tried everything you could have
But I did too
We're reaching for our alibis
But we both know the truth
It's a fact that we can't survive this
Not a point of view

VERSE 2:
The love that we have for each other
Makes this hurt
But the longer that we try to hold on
Makes it worse
The hardest prison to break free from
Is the one we made
We can't escape these chains we built up
And get out unscathed

CHORUS:
Oh no
It's hard to let go when we're so close
And it's so cold
If we can't touch when we're this close
We're so close

VERSE 3:
Oh, love's not for the fragile kind
It sets you up to break
And the one person you thought you could count on
It takes them away

CHORUS: x2

FINAL CHORUS:
Oh no
We came so far and now it's so hard to let go
This bed is so cold
The space you left by me is so close
So close...
