So Near

I believe some things won't ever change
I could give you love but in the end
It's just a game, don't try to pretend
That's my choice, girl, fools ain't fools no more
I can say such things and disappear
'Cause now it's clear, you were never here
I can't give you back what is in your hands
I can't give you back what is in your hands
And that's your love
And I was so near
I believe some things will have to change
I'm convinced my words were not in vain
And now it's clear, you were never here
I can't give you back what is in your hands
I can't give you back what is in your hands
And that's your love
And I was so near
