Closer to Zero

This song is about a young woman who comes to the realization that her relationship is not what it seems to be.

Verse: I’m biting my lips, as I gaze over at you

In this cold, lifeless, emotionless bed

I can feel your frigid, loveless breath

And I silently think to myself

‘Why did I fall for you?’

‘Why did I not see that you were callous and cruel?’

Hook: Did your faux love blind me?

Did your so-called infatuation cripple me?

When your charismatic, so dramatic croon sang lies,

Was it my mind, and not my heart, that it hypnotized?

Chorus: This never felt close to whole

It was way closer to zero

Because you never really loved me!

This never felt close to love

More like closer to empty!

Why didn’t you love me...?

Verse: Your body is warm, your soul is chilled

But I could never really tell the difference

Too dumb to question, to dismissive to listen

And I’m thinking to myself

‘What ever happened to us?’

‘How could I be so willing to trust?’

Hook: Did your soft kisses compel me?

Did your touch put a spell on me?

When your lips trailed down my untouched skin,

Was it really your lust wanting to pull me in?

Chorus: This never felt close to whole

It was way closer to zero

Because you never really loved me!

This never felt close to love

More like closer to empty!

Why didn’t you love me...?

Bridge: I keep asking myself, over and over

How somebody could treat me that way

How could you so willingly say

That you loved me when it wasn’t that way

I keep looking at your beautiful face

And think how you could treat me so wrong

How can anyone expect me to be strong

If I keep being kicked out on my a*s, no help but my own

Chorus: This never felt close to whole

It was way closer to zero

Because you never really loved me!

This never felt close to love

More like closer to empty!

Why didn’t you love me...?

Verse: Get up girl, get on your weak feet

Try to catch a glimmer of your old life

Try to find a way from darkness into the light

Because you can’t go on like this

You’ll lose every bit of your soul

You’ll never be close to whole, just that much more closer to zero
