Lover, have you solved your love today?
And you've been running around trying to figure it out
But you don't need this anymore
And lover has you gave your hearts away
And you' ve been coming around trying to hold me down
But you can't keep me anymore
When you're close enough to whisper in my ear
But i can't reach you anymore
When you close me off and turn away
l feel like I could die
When we cling to it, when we hold it too close
It gets away from us
And we 've started to grow old
When it's creeping in
And we' ve nowhere to hide
We try to love again
We'll try to love again
And you've been holed up in a house
And they've been coming at your gates
And you've been holding your ground
But you can't hold this anymore
When you're close enough to whisper in my ear
But I can't reach you anymore
When you close me off and turn away
I feel like I keep falling down
When we cling to it, when we hold it too close
It gets away from us
And we 've started to grow old
When it's creeping in
And we've nowhere to hide
We try to love again
We 'll try to love again
They' re slowly picking away
And leaving only the bad parts
The bad parts of me
They' re slowly picking away
And leaving only the bad parts
The bad parts of me
They' re slowly picking away
And leaving only the bad parts
The bad parts of me
They' re slowly picking away
(when we cling to it, when we hold it too close)
And leaving only the bad parts
(It gets away from us)
The bad parts of me
(And we 've started to grow old)
They' re slowly picking away
(When it's creeping in, and we' 've nowhere to hide)
And leaving only the bad parts
(We try to love again)
The bad parts of me
(We 'll try to love again)
They' re slowly picking away
(when we cling to it, when we hold it too close)
And leaving only the bad parts
(It gets away from us)
The bad parts of me
(And we 've started to grow old)
They' re slowly picking away
(When it's creeping in, and we' 've nowhere to hide)
And leaving only the bad parts
(We try to love again)
The bad parts of me
(We 'll try to love again)
