Lyric

Suddenly, you closed the space between us

And the familiar street swayed just a little

I escaped behind my earphones, seeking shelter

Hiding behind the words, "It’s nothing at all"

Deep behind my eyes, acting so cool

The only thing loud is the beat of my heart

You notice it, yet you pretend not to see

That little gesture of yours... is so unfair

I’m just pretending that I don't care

When really, I’m longing to hear you call my name

Behind this mask of staying so calm

I’m waiting for a single word from your lips

Don't come closer, but don't ever leave

A sign filled with nothing but contradictions

This distance, so close yet out of reach

Is testing me again, all through today

The meaning of the night with no "read" receipt

I think too much, then delete it all again

A single sticker with a lighthearted laugh

While my true feelings lose their place to go

Acting tough has become a habit of mine

I just can't show you the weakness inside

The warmth you offered, reaching out your hand

I tucked it away deep into my pocket

Wearing a face like it’s none of my business

While my heart is leaning forward into you

In this conversation filled with empty spaces

Only my expectations continue to grow

I won't chase you, but I want to chase you

Opposing impulses fighting inside

With just one single step you take into my world

Everything would come crumbling down, and yet

If I were to reach out my hand right now

Would this silence break into pieces?

Even while pretending to stay so cold

The truth is, I just want to hold you

Stop the act of pretending I don't care

I want to look at you with honest eyes

Stripping away these chic and stylish lies

I want to stand right in front of you

Even if I get close, you don't have to run

It’s okay to be clumsy, just as we are

The moment we touch, it’ll all be revealed

This love has been here since a long time ago
