[Verse 1]
There's never really a good time
To said goodbye, but don't pretend it's
Not a relief to hear me say I'm
Thinking right now maybe we should end this
[Chorus 1]
Cause it's true
The closer I get to you
The further I get away from me
The person that I used to be
[Verse 2]
I wasn't always like this before
That we were in love there is no doubt
But I'm not happy any more
And for that reason, I'm out
[Chorus 2]
And it's true
The closer I get to you
The further I get away from me
The person that I ought to be
[Verse 3]
This is no longer any fun
This couple will never be strolling
Into a blood-red setting sun
While the end credits are rolling
[Chorus 3]
Yes it's true
The closer I get to you
The further I get away from me
The person that I want to be
