near to you...

he and i, it's somethin' beautiful
but so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
loved him so but I let him go
cause I knew he'd never love me back

such pain as this
shouldn't have to be experienced
i'm still reeling from the loss
still a little bit delirious, yeah

near to you, I am healin'
but it is takin' so long
cause though he's gone and you are wonderful
it's hard to move on
yeah, I'm better near to you

well, you and I, it's somethin' different
and I'm enjoyin' it as cautiously
i'm battle scarred, I am workin' oh so hard
to get back to who I used to be

he's disappearin'
fadin' steadily
when I'm so close to bein' yours
won't you stay with me, please?


i only know that I am better where you are
i only know that I belong where you are

near to you, I am healin'
but it's takin' so long
though he's gone and you are wonderful
it's hard to move on

yeah, i'm better near to you
