I've tried, keeping it under the covers for us
Sometimes, til I realize this nightmare is real life
You didn't even notice
All I turned my back against
Just to make you feel stronger
Stronger
Then you creep inside of my head
Try to keep your ego fed
But I couldn't feel the hunger
Hunger
I keep my enemies close, but I keep you closer
One look and I know, it's far from over
Your touch was lighting, but your words were thunder
I keep my enemies close, but I keep you closer, closer, closer
But I keep you closer
But I keep you closer
At night, sometimes I still hear the echoes of your lies
They crawl on the walls and I watch them write
Cut me down just to watch me bleed
When I gave you everything
Surprised there's anything left of me
Held onto you with both fists
Hands whiter than the ghost that haunts this
Thinkin' about how we could've been
I keep my enemies close, but I keep you closer
One look and I know, it's far from over
Your touch was lighting, but your words were thunder
I keep my enemies close, but I keep you closer, closer, closer
But I keep you closer
But I keep you closer
