Short transcript/lyrics from a YouTube video by Mark Crompton (titled '#Duckfoot - #SNOW Baqueria-Beret'). A single speaker delivers a reflective, lyrical monologue about realizing they must move on from a close relationship despite care for the other person; recurring refrains emphasize being "too close to love" and the need to be true to oneself.
Sam. Well, I'm not one to break promises I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe at the end of it all you're still my best friend but there's something inside that I need to release which way is right which way is wrong how do I say that I need to move on you know we had in separ way and it feels like I am just too close to love you there's nothing I can really say I can't have no more I can have no more got to be true to myself and it feels like I am just too close to love you so I'll be on my way. You giving me more than I can return. Yet there's so much that you deserve there's nothing to say nothing to do I'm nothing to give I must live without you you know we're heading separate ways and it feels like I am just too close to love. There's nothing I can really say I can't lie no more I can lie no more gradually truth of myself and it feels like I am just too close to love you so I'll be on my way. So I'll be on my way me. And it feels like I am just too close to love you there's nothing that I can't really say I can't hide no more I can't hide no more got to be true to myself and it feels like I am just too close to love you so I'll be on my way. So I'll be on my way. So I'll be on my way.
