Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nothing but a tear, that's all for breakfast
Watching you pretend you're unaffected
You're pulling our connections
Expecting me to let you go
But I won't
[PreChorus]
Know you don't need my protection
But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking
I love in your direction
Hoping that the message goes
[Chorus]
Somewhere close to you
Close to you
Like so close, if they hurt you
You wouldn't find out
Just say now, I'm coming right now
To be close to you
[Verse 2]
Said you let it go, you kept it
Working hard to perfect it
Now your fear is reckless
And it's outta your control
Well, just let it go
[PreChorus]
Know you don't need my protection
But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking
I love in your direction
Hoping that the message goes
[Chorus]
Somewhere close to you
Close to you, ooh
Like so close, if they hurt you
You wouldn't find out
If you let me, I'd be there by now
Close to you
