I knew who you were, it was perfectly obvious
I was uncomfortable playing it cool
But I feel like 
I have always known you
I kept you close and 
I thought you would question it
Young in the night, when we stare like the rest of them
God forbid
Oh my godI would hold you close'
Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too'
Cause it is a lonely world
Well I put off 'cause 
I'm painfully diffident
I played it out in my head from afar
But they trust me too
You disappeared to my dissatisfaction
Oh, what could have been with a little more time?
Woe is meOh my god
I would hold you close'
Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too'
Cause it is a lonely world
Yeah I would hold you close'
Cause it is a lonely world
If I was confident'
Cause it is a lonely world
Yeah I would hold you close'
Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too'
Cause it is a lonely world
Yeah I would hold you close'
Cause it is a lonely world
If I was confident'
Cause it is a lonely world
