Nearly Love Lyrics

In my eyes,
Well your gaze always ends up there.
There's a touch of the insincere,
But you can always tell I'm lying.
Fighting words,
Well nobody is keeping score.
But we're winning a cold, cold war,
And I feel so cowardly.
And now I love you, love you-
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you-
And it's hard to confess,
But my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one, to be the one.

In your touch,
Well your body can move in close,
But my heart is a lonesome ghost-
I'd never feel you anyway.

And now I love you, love you-
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you-
And it's hard to confess,
But my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one, to be the one.
And now I love you, love you-
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you-
And my heart's in a mess,
'Cause my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one, to be the one.

Love you, love you-
Only slightly less and I loved you-
(Love you, love you.)
And it's hard to confess,
But my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one, to be the one.
And now I love you, love you-
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you-
And my heart's in a mess,
'Cause my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one, to be the one.

And now I love you, love you-
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you-
And it's hard to confess,
But my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one...
