Close For Comfort

You say you really need me
But you don't cry when you leave me
Your words, they drug and smother
And still you keep me under

What's happening to me?
Can't hear, can't think, and I can't see

We've done this over and over
And still I pull you closer
Why do you keep denying?
I know, I know when you're lying

What's happening to me?
It's getting very hard to breathe

Oh down, cross a thousand roads in my head
Find your way downtown, find my way into your bed

I don't know what I'm doing
Can't go back to my life cause it's ruined
And you, you put me through this
You say you love me, prove it!

What's happening to me?
I'm burning up, can you feel the heat?

Close for comfort, but far too close to fly
You love to talk about the ways in which you think you'll die
Well if you do, don't take me with you

Love songs and all your letters
Still nothing's getting any better
You say "baby, believe me!"
But your words mean nothing to me!
