Reed Deming - Losing a Friend lyrics

I used to fly close to the sun
Then one day I crashed
I started clipping my wings
Said walking wasn’t so bad
Even though I had a dream
To be someone’s other half
I chose to stay on my feet
I chose to stay on my feet
But then I looked up and I saw you flying
Just like a dove on the horizon
And despite all my baggage
All the pain I’ve been hiding
I wanna fly up to you
But my scars know better

Last night I started writing you a text
With a song that I wrote
About you when we met
I was about to hit send
But I didn’t want us to end
Cause winning a lover
Ain’t worth losing a friend

So I’m keeping you close but never too close
Keeping you close but never too close
Keeping you close but never too close
Cause winning a lover
Ain’t worth losing a friend

I’m just holding my breath
Don’t know what to do next
Girl I took you to prayer
But I didn’t like what He said
Said I gotta give it time yeah
Know I gotta let it go
Gotta trust in the Provider
Embracing being on my own
It’s so easy to say that
But it’s harder to do girl I hit replay
On that night out with you
With you I was home, home, home
Wish time could’ve froze, froze, oh
Wanted to say something
But girl I know better

Last night I started writing you a text
With a song that I wrote
About you when we met
I was about to hit send
But I didn’t want us to end
Cause winning a lover
Ain’t worth losing a friend

So I’m keeping you close but never too close
Keeping you close but never too close
Keeping you close but never too close
Cause winning a lover
Ain’t worth losing a friend

I don’t wanna be friends
I don’t wanna be friends
But girl I’ma be your friend
I don’t wanna be friends
I don’t wanna be friends
But girl I’ma be your friend
I don’t feel nothing you don’t feel nothing
Girl can we please pretend
Hearts have been frozen bridges were broken
Gotta be me again

Last night I thought about taking a shot
Confessing it all to you from the heart
Girl I would tell you the truth
But what would you do if you knew
That’s why winning your loving
Ain’t worth losing you

I’m keeping you close but never too close
Keeping you close but never too close
Keeping you close but never too close
Cause winning a lover
Ain’t worth losing a friend
