nearly love

in my eyes

well your gaze always ends up there

there's a touch of the insincere

but you can always tell i'm lying

fighting words

well nobody is keeping score

but we're winning a cold

cold war

and i feel so cowardly

and now i love you

love you

only slightly less than i loved you

loved you

and it's hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough

to be the one

to be the one

in your touch

well your body can move in close

but my heart is a lonesome ghost

i'd never feel you anyway

and now i love you

love you

only slightly less than i loved you

loved you

and it's hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough

to be the one

to be the one

and now i love you

love you

only slightly less than i loved you

loved you

and my heart's in a mess cause my nearly love is not real enough

to be the one

to be the one

love you

love you

only slightly less than i loved you

love you

love you

and it's hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough

to be the one

to be the one

and now i love you

love you

only slightly less than i loved you

loved you

and my heart's in a mess cause my nearly love is not real enough

to be the one

to be the one
