Or business & pleasure
We shouldnu0027t have crossed that line
I couldnu0027t escape you
My friends were your friends too
And I learned youu0027ve got a type
Get you to open up
But when I fell too hard
I dropped and broke my guard
And then you were gone by night
Heard you met somebody else
Now your heaven is my hell
Wish that you could just admit
She wonu0027t love you like I did
I bet sheu0027s just like me
I bet sheu0027s everything that you need
I hope she gets to see
What you held back every time that you got close to me
Tried sugar & spice
And everything nice
But it never got me far
I realized too late
The night of my birthday
Even if I hit your marks
That you would meet somebody else
Now your heaven is my hell
Fooled me once, now baby whou0027s
Gonna know you like I do?
I bet sheu0027s just like me
I bet sheu0027s everything that you need
I hope she gets to see
What you held back every time that you got close to me
You held back every time that you got close to me
(You held back every time)
Through the grapevine I had heard
She and I are similar
And if itu0027s true then tell me why
Iu0027m the one who got goodbye?
If sheu0027s just like me
And if sheu0027s everything that you need
I hope she gets to see
What you held back every time that you got close to me
(Tell me why)
close to me
(You said goodbye)
You held back every time
(Tell me why)
You got close to me
The song "Close to Me" by Mira Housey tells the story of a failed relationship where two people who were not compatible with each other got involved, despite knowing that it was a mistake. The lyrics of the song describe the situation where the singer and her partner were two opposite personalities, like "oil & water" or "business & pleasure," and they shouldn't have crossed the line. The singer's friends were also the partner's friends, which made it difficult for her to escape him. She tried to get him to open up but fell too hard, and when she dropped her guard, he was gone by night.
The lyrics in the second verse explain how the singer tried everything to make the relationship work but realized only too late that they were never meant to be. She is envious of the person who is with her ex-partner now and claims that this new person is just like her. She hopes that this new person gets to see what her ex-partner held back every time he got close to her. The song ends with the singer wondering how this new person can be everything that her ex-partner needs when she herself wasn't enough.

Like oil & water
We are incompatible, like two substances that cannot be mixed
Or business & pleasure
We should not have mixed professional and personal relationships
We shouldnu0027t have crossed that line
We made a mistake by getting involved with each other
I couldnu0027t escape you
I couldn't avoid running into you
My friends were your friends too
Our social circles overlapped
And I learned youu0027ve got a type
I discovered that you have a particular preference for certain types of people
I tried to push my luck
I tried to take a chance with you
Get you to open up
Encourage you to share your feelings
But when I fell too hard
When I became too emotionally invested
I dropped and broke my guard
My walls came down, and I became vulnerable
And then you were gone by night
You disappeared suddenly, without warning
Heard you met somebody else
I found out that you started seeing someone else
Now your heaven is my hell
You're happy with someone else, while I'm miserable without you
Wish that you could just admit
I hope you can acknowledge your true feelings for me
She wonu0027t love you like I did
No one else can love you the way I did
I bet sheu0027s just like me
I believe she's very similar to me
I bet sheu0027s everything that you need
She probably possesses all the qualities you desire in a partner
I hope she gets to see
I hope she'll realize what you kept hidden from me
What you held back every time that you got close to me
You kept withholding your true emotions from me, even when we were intimate
Tried sugar & spice
I attempted different approaches with you
And everything nice
I tried to be charming and kind with you
But it never got me far
My efforts did not lead to a successful relationship with you
I realized too late
I understood my mistake after it was too late
The night of my birthday
On the day that I turned a year older
Even if I hit your marks
Even if I met your expectations
That you would meet somebody else
You found a new partner
Fooled me once, now baby whou0027s
I fell for your tricks in the past, so who knows
Gonna know you like I do?
Who can really understand you like I did?
Through the grapevine I had heard
I heard from someone else
She and I are similar
She has qualities similar to mine
And if sheu0027s everything that you need
If she fulfills all your desires
I hope she gets to see
I hope she'll realize what you kept hidden from me
You held back every time that you got close to me
You kept withholding your true emotions from me, even when we were intimate
(You said goodbye)
You left me
(Tell me why)
Explain to me
