Modern Love Affair
Too Close To Touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me let your love right in, while you lie awake with him
Perfectly plead for my patience
Though you're caught up in the sheets, I know sinners never sleep
Am I a fool for falling for this
Put to the side like I don't exist
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep
Don't call when it all comes crumbling
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end
So long, it's been fun, now we're done
Miss you's and wanting you here now
What a sick and twisted way, to keep both of us at bay
Truthfully ruthless and reckless
We ignore the warning signs, buried in your twisted mind
Am I a fool for falling for this
Put to the side like I don't exist
Don't tell me to leave, while I'm still dreaming
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep
Don't call when it all comes crumbling
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end
So long, it's been fun, now we're done
Am I a fool for falling for this?
Put to the side, like I don't exist
Don't tell me to leave, while I'm still dreaming
Quit falling for me, while he is fast asleep
Don't call when it all comes crumbling
I won't let you repeat, this cycle has to end
So long, it's fun, but we're done
So long, it's fun, but we're done

@sytheopath1241
Wow! I just realized the lyrics "I won't let you repeat this cycle has to end". basically there are two verses there.
"I won't let you repeat this cycle" and "this cycle has to end" this is actually a metaphor the first part of the verse I won't let you repeat this cycle, refers to her cheating on the guy with him and then the ending of that verse starting with, this cycle has to end is almost like the relationship she now has with the guy that she cheated WITH whom she'll probably cheat on again later which is what the cycle has to end verse is really referring to. Freaking crazy!
