The Closer You Are
Heartache's Embrace: Longing and Loss in Earl Thomas Conley's Melody
Lyrics
I can't get you out of mind
I am unable to stop thinking about you.
It hurts more than I expected
The emotional pain I am experiencing is more intense than I anticipated.
You sure a lasting impression
You left a deep and enduring impact on my heart.
On this heart of mine
My heart is affected by your presence or absence.
It's gonna take a lot more than time
Recovering from the emotional impact will require more than just the passage of time and shedding tears.
And tears to help me get over
The burden of responsibilities and challenges feels overwhelming without your support.
The weight of the world on my shoulders
I feel weighed down by the difficulties of life.
Without you by my side
I struggle without your companionship by my side.
Cause the more I think about you
The more I dwell on thoughts of you, the more challenging it becomes to hide my true feelings.
The harder it is to conceal
I try to pretend that I am not lost or incomplete without you.
I pretend I'm not lost without you
Your presence makes the reality of my emotional state undeniable.
But seeing you makes it so real
Being in your presence emphasizes the depth of my emotions.
And the closer you are, the farther away I feel
The closer you are, the more distant and isolated I feel emotionally.
It was always so easy on my own
I used to find it easy to be on my own.
Man I used to have that down
I had mastered the art of being independent and self-sufficient.
I'd laugh, I'd dance, and I carried on
I could laugh, dance, and carry on with life.
But I don't do that now
However, I am no longer able to do those things without you.
Cause the more I think about you
Reflections on you make it increasingly difficult to hide my true emotions.
The harder it is to conceal
I try to maintain a façade of strength, pretending not to be lost without you.
I pretend I'm not lost without you
Your presence exposes the reality of my emotional vulnerability.
But seeing you makes it so real
Seeing you makes it impossible to deny the depth of my emotions.
And the closer you are, the farther away I feel
The closer you are, the more emotionally distant I feel.
