Don’t come any closer

Don’t come any closer if you can’t stay

Don’t come any closer if you’re not sure

Don’t come any closer if you have doubts

Don’t come any closer if I’m not all you want

Don’t come any closer if you’re not prepared to go the distance

Don’t come any closer; don’t come any closer

Don’t come any closer lest you break my fragile heart

Don’t come any closer lest you shatter my dreams

Don’t come any closer lest you leave me broken and weeping

Don’t come any closer if anything stands in your way and you can’t see a way around it

Don’t come any closer if you’re not ready

Don’t come any closer

I’m your sister; I’m your friend

I’m a child of God like you are too

Don’t come any close lest you hurt me needlessly

Don’t come any closer if you’re sure it won’t work out

Don’t come any closer if you don’t care enough

Don’t come any closer…………………………………

Don’t come any closer
