The Ones You Keep Close

Matt Simons, Rune Westberg - 2016 / From 'When The Lights Go Down'

 

Nobody knew me better

We went where nobody goes

Secrets that should have been guarded

Whenever we came to blows

 

You said words, words I won’t ever forget

I did things, things I will always regret

 

The brighter the light that a love shines

The darker the nights when it’s gone

The ones you keep close can hurt you the most

 

Nobody loved me better

You got the best in me out

We left our hearts wide open

The worst in me could not back down

 

I said words, words you won’t ever forget

You did things, things you will always regret

 

The deeper the trust that gets broken

The harder it is to repair

The ones you keep close can hurt you the most

 

(interlude)

 

We said words, words we won’t ever forget

We did things, things we will always regrets

 

The higher you let your love fly

Oh the harder you hit when it falls

The ones you keep close, they can hurt you the most

The ones you keep close can hurt you the most
