Title: Closer Ain’t Love Intro I know this room I know this light I know this hurt I know this night I know your story Before you speak You came here lonely Not here for me Verse 1 Baby, I know your man Don’t hold you right He calls it love Then leaves you cold at night I know your eyes Got used to looking down I know your smile Don’t live inside your mouth You say don’t ask So I don’t press But your hands keep shaking On the edge of my chest You came here hurting You came here warm Looking for shelter Inside another storm Pre-Chorus And I don’t blame you But I know the game You don’t want my love You just want a new name You don’t want forever You just want relief And somehow it always Ends up being me Chorus I know your man Doesn’t care how you feel I know your love Doesn’t care who heals I know your eyes When they beg without words I know your lips When they kiss where it hurts I know your body When it moves into mine I know your hands When they pull me inside I know you’re using me I know tonight You’ll close your eyes And borrow my life Your friends pushed you closer Your friends know me They know I’m the door You open to grieve But closer ain’t love Closer ain’t peace You’re under my hands But your heart won’t leave Post-Chorus Closer ain’t love Closer ain’t love You’re in my arms But you’re not close enough Closer ain’t love Closer ain’t love I’m the room you use When the house gets rough Verse 2 I’ve been the shoulder I’ve been the drink I’ve been the late call When you don’t wanna think I’ve been the warm hands After cold goodbyes I’ve been the soft place For too many lies You all say different words But they mean the same He didn’t see you He didn’t say your name He made you feel small He made you feel alone So you come to my bed And call it coming home Pre-Chorus 2 And I don’t blame you But I know the cost You don’t come to love me You come to feel lost You don’t want my heart You just need it near Just long enough To make yours disappear Chorus I know your man Doesn’t care how you feel I know your love Doesn’t care who heals I know your eyes When they beg without words I know your lips When they kiss where it hurts I know your body When it moves into mine I know your hands When they pull me inside I know you’re using me I know tonight You’ll close your eyes And borrow my life Your friends pushed you closer Your friends know me They know I’m the door You open to grieve But closer ain’t love Closer ain’t peace You’re under my hands But your heart won’t leave Bridge I don’t wanna be your medicine I don’t wanna be your proof I don’t wanna be the man You run to when he wounds you I don’t wanna be your secret I don’t wanna be your sin I don’t wanna be the body You bury heartbreak in But I know myself too That’s the curse I keep opening doors Even when it hurts I know the ending I know the truth But lonely makes a man Feel useful Breakdown I know your silence I know your shame I know you say my name To forget his name I know your shaking I know your need I know you want saving But not from me I know the morning I know the door I know you’ll say This can’t happen anymore I know the script I know my line I know I’m yours For only one night Final Chorus I know your man Doesn’t care how you feel I know your love Doesn’t care who heals I know your eyes When they beg without words I know your lips When they kiss where it hurts I know your body When it moves into mine I know your hands When they pull me inside I know you’re using me I know tonight You’ll close your eyes And borrow my life Your friends pushed you closer Your friends know me They know I’m the door You open to grieve But closer ain’t love Closer ain’t peace You’re under my hands But your heart won’t leave Outro Closer ain’t love Closer ain’t love I’m tired of being warmth When the world gets rough Closer ain’t love Closer ain’t love You all come close But never close enough Baby, I know your man Doesn’t care how you feel But I’m starting to think None of you cared who heals
