Did you let her get closer?

Wanted to dive right in and meet you there
I’ve been before and I’m not scared
Your eyes change color in the light
But they can see me now, I’m not scared

Did you let her get closer?
Was she prettier than me?
Some days it’s all her and not you
I walk beside but I fall behind
No more running
Tried to show you with my eyes
But it’s not me you see
This place belongs to someone else
and I have to get out
How can you love someone
who loved before?

The day you met her, it’s crystal clear
I’m to blame, it was me who let her in
and I’ve tried to give you all the blame
but it’s all mine

We’re exchanging sentences on a dark street
Outside the best hotel in town
Your hands beg me to stay the night
Like a way of saying “thanks”
Did you let her get closer?

Some moments are so lonely
When you ask what’s on my mind
So I hold you closer
To make her disappear

Silent about if we’ve got a future
Silent about what we’ve got now
Your dreams fade
And mine are all but gone
Did you let her get closer?
