​so close yet so far lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been falling for you, and I hope you feel it too
But I can't change the way it might go
Knowing my luck, you probably don't
Hats off, I’ve done well to keep you as a friend
Because I barely have any, and I'm not one to pretend
Truth is, I love you, but I know damn well you don't
I can't keep giving myself false hope, it just
Makes it worse when you say "no" to me
Yeah, I've been falling for you for so long
I know it’s hard to tell, 'cause I hide my true self
I'm scared as hell, I don't want you to think I'm a creep
I don’t want anyone laughing at me
I just want it to be you and me, is that too much to ask?

[Chorus]
I'm so close, yet so far, if only you weren’t so far away
I could be your Romеo, and you could be my Juliet
My mind feels like paparazzi, constantly surrounding mе
Begging me to do things I don’t wanna do, woah
I wish you knew that I loved you
I wanted you to figure it out on your own
But I suppose I’ll need to tell you, and risk losing
Everything I’ve gained

[Verse 2]
As I said before, I've been falling for you, for far too long
I think you're my best chance yet
It’s been like two years since I could call myself "taken"
I hope that you’ll be the one to change that next
According to my heart, you're the only one
Who can create art like a master
You're basically the next Picasso, but I hope you can be my
Next romance too
I’ve been dreaming about you, wanting you so badly
But that's probably a stretch, God knows who I'll be with next
I just hope it’s you, because you’re my only truth
[Chorus]
I'm so close, yet so far, if only you weren’t so far away
I could be your Romeo, and you could be my Juliet
My mind feels like paparazzi, constantly surrounding me
Begging me to do things I don’t wanna do, woah
I wish you knew that I loved you
I wanted you to figure it out on your own
But I suppose I’ll need to tell you, and risk losing
Everything I’ve gained

[Bridge]
Don’t let this stop us now, you’ve turned my life around
Every time I see you, I think of you like a celebrity
I’m scared that I’ll mess something up
Yeah, you have a shiny red heart next to your name
I wish mine had the same, but oh well, I’m used to it

[Chorus]
I'm so close, yet so far, if only you weren’t so far away
I could be your Romeo, and you could be my Juliet
My mind feels like paparazzi, constantly surrounding me
Begging me to do things I don’t wanna do, woah
I wish you knew that I loved you
I wanted you to figure it out on your own
But I suppose I’ll need to tell you, and risk losing
Everything I’ve gained
[Outro]
Lost everything that I've gained
