You may strike me down in anger
You may hold a different vice
You may talk about me
Spreading ‘round your foolish lies

You may say it all comes
Down to just one thing
You either take it
Or you leave it

And bear the consequence it brings
I’ve kissed the lips of angels
I’ve mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I’ve tried
Living by you rules

I’ve walked with the restless
They don’t get much sleep
I’ve made another promise
One I could not keep

You make strike me down in anger
You may burn me with your eyes
You may talk about me
Spreading ‘round your foolish lies

You may say it’s all or nothing
And that there’s no in-between
And all I need to do is focus
And stop living in a dream

I’ve tried to make a difference
I knew that would not last
While trying to move forward
I got caught up by the past

All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you

Can? Can I take it?
Can I ? Can? Will I try to
Break away from you?

I’ve kissed the lips of angels
I’ve mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I’ve tried
Living by your rules

All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you

Sing with me, sing with me
Sing with me, sing with me

All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
