How can I think I'm standing strong? Yet feel the air beneath my feet. How can happiness feel so wrong? How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep? Then break my dreams the way you do. How can I have got in so deep? Why did i fall in love with you?
[Chorus] This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been. Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen. This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known. But I was never crazy on my own. And now I know That there's a link between the two, Being close to craziness, and being close to you
How can you let me fall apart? Then break my fall with lovin lies. It's so easy to break a heart, It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child? Yet like a child I yearn for you. How can anyone feel so wild? How ca anyone feel so blue?
[Chorus] This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been. Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen. This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known. I was never crazy on my own. And now I know That there's a link between the two, Being close to craziness, and being close to you
And being close to you
And being close to you
You're beautiful so silently It lies beneath a shade of blue It struck me so violently When I looked at you
But others pass, the never pause, To feel that magic in your hand To me you're like a wild rose They never understand why
I cried for you When the sky cried for you And when you went I became a hopeless drifter But this life was not for you Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisper
I'll cross the sea for a different world, With your treasure, a secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget This love of ours or that we met, They may not know how much you meant to me.
I cried for you And the sky cried for you, And when you went I became a hopeless drifter. But this life was not for you, Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see, How fragile the world can be And I know you've gone away But in my heart you'll always stay.
I cried for you And the sky cried for you, And when you went I became a hopeless drifter. But this life was not for you, Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisper That beauty need only be a whisper
First of all must go Your scent upon my pillow And then I'll say goodbye To your whispers in my dreams And then our lips will part In my mind and in my heart Cause your kiss Went deeper than my skin
Piece by piece Is how I'll let go of you Kiss by kiss Will leave my mind one at a time One at a time
First of all must fly My dreams of you and I There's no point in holding on to those And then our ties will break For your and my own sake Just remember This is what you chose
Piece by piece Is how I'll let go of you Kiss by kiss Will leave my mind one at a time One at a time
I'll shed like skin Our memories of lazy days And fade away the shadow of your face
Piece by piece Is how I'll let go of you Kiss by kiss Will leave my mind one at a time One at a time One at a time One at a time
