Closer by Guster

Seldom are things just as they seem
Calluses grow to keep what's underneath
Seeing it now I must admit
Cowardly way to keep you from me
'Cause I have been bought and sold
Done just as I've been told
And you, you ask me what was wrong
I'd answer nothing, nothing
Finally you are gone
Can't believe that I have won
Burn this place burn it down
Nothing there's worth being saved
Five years ago and I use to think
Something is better than nothing
Never did learn or did I forget
Once you gave it away you cannot take it back
''cause I have been bought and sold
Done just as I've been told
And you, you ask me what was wrong
Was good for nothing, nothing
The closer you are the less that I see
But you're not around
