closest thing to love

James Morrison

The hardest part of loving somebody is letting them go
You convince yourself it s something else
but you already know
[?] by my side [?] moves so slow
The hardest part of loving somebody is letting them go

So stay for a moment like we got something left to feel
Tomorrow you re gone but tonight
let s pretend that it s real

It might not be love, but that s alright
It might be heart telling me lies
But I ve never known anything better than us
So I m holding on to you so tight

The harder I try to say goodbye
[?] I fall into your eyes
This is the closest that I ve been to love
So I m holding on to you so tight

La, la, la la, la, la la la
La, la, la la, la, la la la
This is the closest that I ve been to love

So just play that part of a loving heart
Cause you do it so well
Let s blur the line between wrong and right
Till we just can t tell
It don t need to be perfect for it to be worth a try
So let s play the part of loving hearts and fool ourselves

So stay for a moment like we got something left to feel

It might not be love, but that s alright
It might be heart telling me lies
But I ve never known anything better than us
So I m holding on to you so tight

The harder I try to say goodbye
[?] I fall into your eyes
This is the closest that I ve been to love
So I m holding on to you so tight

La, la, la la, la, la la la
La, la, la la, la, la la la
This is the closest that I ve been to love

Cause I [?] round my mind
Real love, so hard to find
And even though it s got me on my knees, it won t
Change the way I feel

It might not be love but that s alright
It might be heart telling me lies
But I ve never known anything better than us
And I m holding on to you so tight

The harder I try to say goodbye
[?] I fall into your eyes
This is the closest that I ve been to love
So I m holding on to you so tight

La, la, la la, la, la la la
La, la, la la, la, la la la
(This is the closest that I ve been to love)
La, la, la la, la, la la la
La, la, la la, la, la la la
(This is the closest that I ve been to love)

La, la, la la, la, la la la
La, la, la la, la, la la la
