Closer (Live) Lyrics by Guster

The Pasty Tapes

0

[Verse 1: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner/Miller]
Seldom are things just as they seem
Calluses grow to keep what's underneath
Seeing it now I must admit
The cowardly way to keep you from me

’Cause I have been bought and sold
Done just as I've been told, if you
If you ask me what was wrong
I'd answer nothing
Nothing

[Chorus: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner]
Finally you are gone
Can’t believe that I cared once
Burn this place, burn it down
Nothing there's worth being saved

[Verse 2: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner/Miller]
Five years ago when I used to think
Something is better than nothing
I never did learn or did I forget?
Once you give it away you cannot take it back

'Cause I have been bought and sold
Done just as I'd been told, if you
If you ask me what I'd done
Was good for nothing
Nothing

[Bridge: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner]
The closer you are
The less that I see
But you're not around

[Chorus: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner]
Finally you are gone
Can't believe that I cared once
Burn this place, burn it down
Nothing there's worth being saved

[Chorus: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner]
Finally you are gone
Can’t believe what I did once
Burn this place, burn it down
Nothing there’s worth being saved
