close but no cigar

you came close

close but no cigar

you didn't miss by far

you know you came this close

close but no cigar

some people sing love songs

everybody's got one

this isn't my love song

it's more like my love-gone-wrong song

she came to breakfast

and stayed a week

but the lie detectors

broke down each time she tried to speak

broke down when she said: you came close
