The Closer We Get

Ami:

The closer we get,

The harder to say,

To hold something back this long

Will push you away from me

But every day I feel you coming back to me,

To how we used to be and yet

All the memories we're rewriting

Would suffer if I told you

So the lie in me grows.

Another day goes

Until he knows.

Ben:

The closer we get,

The deeper I fall.

Believing this love is real

Means nothing'cause all I had

Might one day find a way of turning good to bad

So it makes me sad

To think that the man you've helped me find

Could fade away or leave me

So I try to ignore

The pain from before

And close the door.

Ami:

One more day.

Ben:

Tuesday.

Ami:

Wednesday.

Ben:

One more week has gone.

Both:

We carry on.

Ben:

Love is meeting a stranger

Who becomes the one you depend on.

Ami/Ben:

If I tell him what I know

Always

Could I stay with him?

With her I'm home.

Both:

The closer we get

The further we go.

To need him (her) the way I do

Is something I know is right

So why am I afraid to let the spark bring light

When it burns (so) bright (again)?

Holding on to all that was

Will only hurt tomorrow.

Tell me, what do I do?

Ben/Ami:

If the mem'ries break through

Would he choose to stay?

Should I stay?
