I met a girl
It wasn't perfect
But I liked her
None the less
She loved me
I wasn't sure
Of what I was feeling
What I was feeling
But it sure felt good

I knew
That I didn't love her
And I knew
She wasn't the one

But she was
the closest,
the closest
thing to love.
She was the closest,
the closest
thing to love.

Don't tell me
I was wrong
Cause my love
Wasn't as strong.
I admit
I admit
Didn't know what I was doing
What I was feeling
But it sure felt good.

I knew
That I didn't love her
And I knew
She wasn't the one

But she was
the closest,
the closest
thing to love.
She was
the closest,
the closest
thing to love
She was
the closest,
the closest
thing to love.
