Nick Culp - I Would Rather

It's become a ritual
Can't seem to keep you close
Cause the more that I try
The more it feels that we're saying goodbye
I'm wasting my time
Thinking we would suffice
I'd like to keep you close
But it hurts that you're not mine
My arm's open wide
In case you wanna try
But I would rather keep it shut
Than lose you for life
We connect so good
How is it you overlook
All these moments we have
Girl, I know for sure that you notice as well
He don't know you like I do
Keep it real, like I should
There's things I wanna tell you so bad
That you're so full of life and you're pretty as hell
It's become a ritual
Can't seem to keep you close
Cause the more that I try
The more it feels that we're saying goodbye
I'm wasting my time
Thinking we would suffice
I'd like to keep you close
But it hurts that you're not mine
My arm's open wide
In case you wanna try
But I would rather keep it shut
Than lose you for life
It's like a test of time for me
It's been so long since I've felt free
I know you got my back but still
I'm doing this against my will
Sometimes this love feels just like hell
Watching you with someone else
Just because I'm too darn scared
To tell you the things I wanna tell
It's become a ritual
Can't seem to keep you close
Cause the more that I try
The more it feels that we're saying goodbye
I'm wasting my time
Thinking we would suffice
I'd like to keep you close
But it hurts that you're not mine
My arm's open wide
In case you wanna try
But I would rather keep it shut
Than lose you for life
Will it be worth the wait
Will I see the sun today
Will I ever taste your lips
Do you even feel the same
