Closer

Verse 1

If I could find the words, could you forgive me?

'Cause, lately, girl, I know that there's a distance

And every time I try, you just dismiss it

Like we're strangers, but I know where this is headed

Pre-Chorus 1

Maybe we should just stop pretendin' you're in love

Ain't no use in lookin' for the missing piece of us

When you're standin' right in front of me, but I can't reach ya

A love, a love that I can't touch

Chorus

Oh, if I could get a little closer

Then I would know just what we lost

But the closer that I get, the more you get colder

It's like holdin' on to smoke, I can't hold ya

Why does the love that I wanted most

Always turn into lost love?

Ooh, ooh-ooh, lost love

Ooh, ooh-ooh, lost love

Verse 2

If I could turn the clock, could we start over?

A million chances just to make it better

We used to talk for days, now you won't text me

It's like you're haunted by the ghost of you and me

Pre-Chorus 2

We were flyin' high, but we ended up crashin'

It used to be forever, now you're talkin' in past tense

And if I could go back, maybe I would never meet ya

A love, a love that I can't reach

Chorus

Oh, if I could get a little closer

Then I would know just what we lost

But the closer that I get, the more you get colder

It's like holdin' on to smoke, I can't hold ya

Why does the love that I wanted most

Always turn into lost love?

Bridge

Oh, don't know why we had to end up as the worst case scenario

Guess it's hard to see the exit when you're stuck inside the moment

It's like tryin' to hold the ocean in my hands, yeah

All the love that I was promised just turned into

Chorus

Oh, if I could get a little closer

Then I would know just what we lost

But the closer that I get, the more you get colder

It's like holdin' on to smoke, I can't hold ya

Why does the love that I wanted most

Always turn into lost love?

Ooh, ooh-ooh, lost love

Ooh, ooh-ooh, lost love

Outro

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Why does the love that I wanted most

Always turn into lost love?
