close to you

[Intro – Instrumental]
(soft piano, light guitar ambience)

⸻

Verse 1
I’ve been quiet lately
Trying not to feel too much
Every time I think I’m steady
Something pulls me back to us

I still sleep on my side
Like you’re next to me
I still talk to your name
Like you can hear me breathe

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I don’t miss the fights
I miss the calm
The way your head fit in my palm
I been lying when I say I’m cool
I’m just trying not to fall apart over you

⸻

Chorus
I just wanna be close to you
Even if it’s not the same
Even if it’s just the memory
Of the way you said my name
I know I should let go of you
But I don’t know how to
Yeah, I don’t need the truth
I just wanna be close to you

⸻

Verse 2
Your shadow still lives in my room
On the walls when the lights go low
I replay things I shouldn’t
Like I could change how it goes

I been scrolling through old texts
Looking for a sign
That you still think about me
At least sometimes

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I don’t hate you
I just wish
We didn’t end like this
If loving you was wrong
Why does it still feel like home?

⸻

Chorus
I just wanna be close to you
Even if it hurts my pride
Even if I’m just a ghost
In the corner of your life
I know I should be over you
But I don’t know how to
Yeah, I don’t need the truth
I just wanna be close to you

⸻

[Mid Instrumental]
(piano melody breathes, subtle guitar plucks, empty space)

⸻

Bridge
Maybe I romanticize
What we already lost
Maybe I’m scared of being fine
‘Cause being fine means you’re gone

If this is what moving on does
I don’t want it right now
I’d rather feel everything
Than learn how to shut it out

⸻

Final Chorus
I just wanna be close to you
Even if it’s in my head
Even if it’s just a feeling
I don’t know how to forget
I know I should let go of you
But I don’t know how to
Yeah, I don’t need the truth
I just wanna be close to you

⸻

Outro – Instrumental
(piano slows, guitar fades)

(soft ad-libs optional)
Close to you
Still close to you
