KEEP THE DISTANCE




I thought you'd be the one

To understand what's going on

But I've think you've lost control

About what's happening with your soul

It took me way too long

To fix the things that kept me strong

You're a magnet for disappointment

No love, no trust, no goal.




You gotta keep the distance

You're far too much involved

You gotta keep the distance

The question how to keep love gotta be solved.




I wonder how you stand

The days of closeness for so long

Behind the words you say

The boredom's ready for a kill

To believe you're something special

That's where I went so wrong

That soulmate thing was something

Forcing me to pay the bill.




You gotta keep the distance...




So don't you think you have more pull

You'd rather realize

You can bustle around as much as you want

At last I stopped to care

Maybe there'll be someone else

To cut you to size

To treat me like a fool

Is simply unfair.
