He is a close friend of mine, but I can't help but feel more...
Tried with all my might.
Couldn't dull my heartbeat,
Couldn't slow my pulse.
Not with you so near.

Tried to just be friends.
Couldn't make the flame die,
Couldn't cool the heat.
Not with you so near.

Didn't want to love you.
Didn't want to care.
Didn't really know you.
You were just too near.

Tried with all my strength.
Couldn't keep my distance,
Couldn't stay away.
Not with you so near.

Tried to give it time.
Couldn't just forget you,
Couldn't just ignore.
Not with you so near.

Didn't want to love you.
Didn't want to care.
But what else could I do?
You were just too near.
