"Closest Thing To Love" lyrics
The hardest part of loving somebody is letting them go (Mm, yeah)
You convince yourself it's something else, but you already know (Oh yeah)
Without you by my side there's no sense of time, and it moves so slow, yeah
The hardest part of loving somebody is letting them go
So stay for a moment, like we got something left to feel, yeah
Tomorrow you're gone, but tonight let's pretend that it's real
It might not be love, but that's alright
It might be my heart telling me lies
But I've never known anything better than us
So I'm holding on to you so tight
The harder I try to say goodbye
The further I fall into your eyes
This is the closest that I've been to love
So I'm holding on to you so tight
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
This is the closest that I've been to love
So just play the part of a loving heart
'Cause you do it so well
Let's blur the line between wrong and right
Till we just can't tell
It don't need to be perfect for it to be worth a try
So let's play the part of loving hearts and fool ourselves
So stay for a moment, like we got something left to feel
Oh no
It might not be love, but that's alright
It might be my heart telling me lies
But I've never known anything better than us
So I'm holding on to you so tight
The harder I try to say goodbye
The further I fall into your eyes
This is the closest that I've been to love
So I'm holding on to you so tight
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
This is the closest that I've been to love
'Cause I've been feeling out my mind
Real love, so hard to find
Even though it's got me on my knees, it won't change the way I feel, no
It might not be love, but that's alright
It might be my heart telling me lies
But I've never known anything better than us
And I'm holding on to you so tight
The harder I try to say goodbye
The further I fall into your eyes
This is the closest that I've been to love
So I'm holding on to you so tight
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la (This is the closest that I've been to love)
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la (Yeah, yeah)
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la (This is)
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la (The closest)
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la (This is the closest that I've been to love)
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la (Hey, yeah)
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
You convince yourself it's something else, but you already know (Oh yeah)

The hardest part of loving somebody is letting them go

Tomorrow you're gone, but tonight let's pretend that it's real

It might be my heart telling me lies
But I've never known anything better than us
So I'm holding on to you so tight
The harder I try to say goodbye
The further I fall into your eyes
This is the closest that I've been to love
So I'm holding on to you so tight
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
This is the closest that I've been to love
