I can't stay anymore;

You're too close.
I feel too much love.
Want to give you all I have,
Want to show you my soul.
But I know what you'll get
I know what you'll see ...

I want to keep you innocent.

I feel ...
Too much pain,
Too much anger,
Too much sadness,
Too much bitterness,
Too much grief,
Too much heartache.

Too likely that there'll be
Too many chances
For me
To cause you the same.

So I must close my heart
To all the love
And walk away,
Before
You're
Better
Off
Without
Me.
