A Little Closer

[Verse 1]

You were the top of my list

I thought that you were the one

To make love worth all the risk

'Til I gave everything up

Defended you to my friends

With you I was such a wreck

But enough is enough

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'm a little closer to the right guy

[Chorus]

Who isn't gonna blame me for his insecurities

Like I'm the reason everybody leaves

He won't make promises he can't keep

He wouldn't do what you did to lose me

[Verse 2]

You lived your lifе in the past

And always brought up your ex

I hated how you'd rеact

When I wore heels and a dress

You wanted me to come back

Now it's round two, no contact

And I still wish you the best

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I'm a little closer to the right guy

[Chorus]

Who isn't gonna blame me for his insecurities

Like I'm the reason everybody leaves

He won't make promises he can't keep

He wouldn't do what you did to lose me

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh

To lose me

Oh, oh

[Bridge]

Not lookin' for somebody who's so indecisive

Gives up when he says he's tryin'

Likes me better when I'm quiet

Not lookin' for somebody cravin' validation

The king of manipulation

I'm so good, I'll be patient

The process of elimination

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I'm a little closer to the right guy

[Chorus]

Who isn't gonna blame me for his insecurities

Like I'm the reason everybody leaves (I'm the reason)

He won't make promises he can't keep (No, he won't)

He wouldn't do what you did to lose me

[Outro]

Make my question my identity and

Hate me 'cause I had the strength to leave

He won't make promises he can't keep

He won't do what you did to lose me
