Dichterbij dan ooit

I'd rather lose what I truly love
Than hold on to something I don't miss
I'd rather be outside even if it's cold
Than go inside when there's nothing left
There's nothing here worth staying for
There's only what used to be
And I'll carry that with me forever
Forever
Who can explain how everything works
How big the gap is between now and never
And how it is that I now realize
You're gone, but closer than ever
I'd rather ask for the longest way
Than get an answer that leaves me stuck
I'd rather say what I rarely say
Than hide that I have to move on
I don't need to tell you anything
That I haven't already said
With my mouth or with my eyes
Forever
Who can explain how everything works
How big the gap is between now and never
And how it is that I now realize
You're gone, but closer than ever
I'd rather laugh at what has been
Than fear something that might come
I'd rather love a great spirit
Than hate something I can't see
I don't need to explain anything to you
It's laid out here in between
And I take a final bow
Forever
Who can explain how everything works
How big the gap is between now and never
And how it is that I now realize
You're gone, but closer than ever
