You're so close you're so close but so far away   you've pushed me so far, am I just blind   like lipstick and shadows upon your face   the traces of what I've yet to find      You take back your promises with your lies   my heart still denies what my head finds   you're etching your ways deep into my mind   erasing the past for the last time      You're so close you're so close but so far away   you've pushed me so far, am I just blind   like lipstick and shadows upon your face   the traces of what I've yet to find      And I'll burn it down (you light my way)   but I won't feel the fire   and I'll burn it down   for you      Well I know my chin's been down   but it's on its way, back up      I want to be back in time   want to step back in my life (we've fallen)      You're so close you're so close but so far away   you've pushed me so far, am I just blind   like lipstick and shadows upon your face   the traces of what I've yet to find   It's about time I look to see if you're here   but I'm not sure I want to see you   My life's being consumed by what I fear   There's nothing I won't say or wouldn't do      And I'm burning down (you light my way)   but I won't fuel the fire   and I'll burn it down   for you   And I'll burn it down (you light my way)   but I won't feel the fire   and I'll burn it down   for you
