Don't Come Closer(KANA Cover)

[Verse 1] I’ve been keeping quiet, don’t ask me why It’s easier to hurt when no one’s by my side You look like you want to stay, but please don’t try I’m tired of explaining what’s been dying in my mind [Pre-Chorus] I know how this goes, I’ve seen it before You’ll say you care, then you’ll walk out the door [Chorus] So don’t come closer I’ve learned to bear it on my own, I swear it’s better You won’t understand me anyway, it doesn’t matter I already know how it ends, I’ll just get shattered So don’t come closer I won’t let you in I won’t let you in [Verse 2] Yes, I joke about it, like it’s all fine It’s easier to laugh than say I’m not alright I know you see the cracks, but you don’t see inside There’s a war underneath that I can’t describe [Pre-Chorus] I’m not being cold, I’m just being safe If I let you in, it’s myself I betray [Chorus] So don’t come closer I’ve held myself together with shaking hands for years Don’t ask me to trust, I can’t survive that fear You’ll try to help, but you’ll disappear Everybody leaves when the darkness gets too near I’m just trying to stay whole through the quiet tears So don’t come closer I won’t let you in [Bridge] [voice breaking, almost whispering] If I opened up, I’d fall apart in your hands And I know you’d leave once you’ve seen who I am So forgive me for guarding the little I have left I’m just trying to breathe with the pain in my chest [Final Chorus] So don’t come closer I’m better off alone, it’s what I’ve learned to prefer You say you want to know me, but you won’t stay after I don’t need another promise made just to shatter So don’t come closer I won’t let you in I won’t let you in (Not again…)
