Closer Lyrics by Tom Jackson

The Beginning EP

2020

[Verse 1]
Empty dreams, and promises that you and I can’t hold
Make believe, through all the smiles we hide our sorrows
Everything is telling us that we should let this go
But I can’t let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
We act like things are alright, but we both know the truth
You say you don’t want to talk, that’s all I get from you
We’re trying hard to survive, but we won’t ever mend
Why can’t we just let this end
[Chorus]
Don’t go
When you’re not here I need you, but I can’t stand to argue
When everything says it’s over, that’s when I hold you closer
It’s never ending, are we just pretending?
I really hoped we’d fix this, are we just scared we’ll miss it?
[Verse 2]
Broken glass, on the floor from fights we had before
Bouncing back, with empty words to keep you from that door
Holding on, we know it’s wrong but we just can’t make the call
Oh I need you to call
[Pre-Chorus]
We act like things are alright, but we both know the truth
You say you don’t want to talk, that’s all I get from you
We’re trying hard to survive, but we won’t ever mend
Why can’t we just let this end
[Chorus]
Don’t go
When you’re not here I need you, but I can’t stand to argue
When everything says it’s over, that’s when I hold you closer
It’s never ending, are we just pretending?
I really hoped we’d fix this, are we just scared we’ll miss it?
[Outro]
That’s when I hold you close
That’s when I needed you the most
When everything says it’s over
That’s when I hold you closer
