Closer In Defending (Come Closer)

Verse 1

Hands held close then I let them slip away

I see your smile growing softer every day

But I know the ending before we begin

So I build the walls and I lock them in

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm the storm that never settles down

Maybe I'm the rain that floods your quiet town

Chorus

So don't come closer darling please

I'll only break you in the end

My love's a blade I can't defend

So don't come closer darling please

I'll only break you in the end

Verse 2

You trace my name like it's a prayer at night

I trace the exit signs and lose the fight

Your gentle hands could hold a hurricane

But I'd drown us both in all my rain

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm the winter after spring arrives

Maybe I'm the burning of a thousand tries

Chorus

So don't come closer darling please

I'll only break you in the end

My love's a blade I can't defend

So don't come closer darling please

I'll only break you in the end

Bridge

I keep my distance like a promise kept

Better you wonder than you weep

Better you never than you learn

What happens when I let somebody in

Chorus

So don't come closer darling please

I'll only break you in the end

My love's a blade I can't defend

Don't come closer darling please

Don't come closer darling please
