Song Lyrics
 
Close To My Heart

Maybe I could have been
Some kind of a contender instead of a never was
I spend my time so wisely
Not like this foolishness I’ve been harboring

So sad, it seems like
this is the last dance for a vagabond
So sad, to see that reflected mirror
that shows me all the innocence is gone

I will always have this one thing
I'll hold this close to my heart
My loneliness can feel so righteous
I guess that’s a start

CHORUS
I have love (close to my heart)
A little left that I can give to you
It’s not spoken (close to my heart)
Just close your eyes and I’ll be next to you

Those promises that I made
I swear I intended to come through on every one
But sidetracked as I tend to get
Once you know me you often just shrug me off
I'm sorry, I say it’s just a picture frame for my gluttony
I'm sorry, I scream is just that a word that admits to
What I’ve been doing wrong

I will always have this one thing
I'll hold this close to my heart
My loneliness can feel so righteous
I guess that’s a start

CHORUS

Finding that I’m down the wrong path
Of innocence that I no longer have
Until I right this ship I’m sailing
I live for the day

CHORUS
