the closer you get

The closer you get
the father to run
away from the pain
that drove me insane

the closer you get
it’s deeper i fall
for the that pushed me down
it came without a sound
happy to sad in a blink of an eye
fell all the way; i wanted to die

the closer you get
it’s harder to leave
the past behind
memories so kind
a life worth living
with the air i’m breathing

the closer you get
the more i can’t forget
everything we shared
the way i once cared
the love that is lost
a man who was my cause
