All I Did (Was Get Close To You)



You may strike me down in anger

You may hold a different vice

You may talk about me

Spreading round your foolish lies

You may say it all comes

Down to just one thing

You either take it

Or you leave it

And bear the consequence it brings



I've kissed the lips of angels

I've mingled with the fools

Lord knows how I've tried

Living by you rules

I've walked with the restless

They don't get much sleep

I've made another promise

One I could not keep



You make strike me down in anger

You may burn me with your eyes

You may talk about me

Spreading round your foolish lies

You may say it's all or nothing

And that there's no in-between

And all I need to do is focus

And stop living in a dream



I've tried to make a difference

I knew that would not last

While trying to move forward

I got caught up by the past



All I did was get close to you

All I did was get close to you

All I did was get close to you

All I did was get close to you



Can? Can I take it?

Can I ? Can? Will I try to

Break away from you?



I've kissed the lips of angels

I've mingled with the fools

Lord knows how I've tried

Living by your rules



All I did was get close to you

All I did was get close to you

All I did was get close to you

All I did was get close to you



Now, sing, sing

When I sing, would you sing with me?

When I sing, would you sing with me?

When I sing, would you sing with me?



All I did was get close to you

All I did was get close to you
