                  And you said, "Don't give me nothing 
                  you don't want to lose" 
                  I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got 
                  if I want them to choose"

                  far away from you

                  It always takes me by surprise 
                  how dark it gets this time of the year 
                  And how apparent it all becomes 
                  that you're not close, not even near 
                  No matter how many times I tell myself 
                  I have to be sincere
