Before You Go - Venus

You’re a step away, just a breath away

I want to let you in

You look like you’re from heaven

But it feels like you’re a sin

I push you away, almost every day

Afraid to feel like this

The presence of your torture is the absence of your kiss

Before you go, I’d like to hold you close

And breathe you in

Oh, before you go, I’d like to let you know

That I love you

Oh, I know, you said no

And now you’re letting go

Your skin brushes mine, is the rush just mine?

I hope you feel this too

My cheeks are turning red now

Why am I quite so see-through?

Would you cross the line, although you are not mine

My judgement is impaired

The way my heart is racing is making me quite scared

Before you go, I’d like to hold you close

And breathe you in

Oh, before you go, I’d like to let you know

That I love you

Oh, I know, I said no

And now you’re letting go

So, meet me after dark underneath the green canopy

And knowing that we soon will part

You draw your body close to me

And you say so softly

Before I go (Before I go)

I had to hold you close (I had to hold you close)

And breathe you in (And breathe you in)

Oh, before I go

I’d like to let you know (I won’t forget your face)

That I love you (It's burned into my brain)

Oh, before I go (It's breaking my heart)

I had to hold you close (To leave you like this)

And breathe you in (But I cannot stay)

Oh, before I go (Oh, how can I leave)

I had to let you know (Leave you behind)

When I love you (When I love you)

Oh, I know you said no (Oh, I know you said no)

But I’m not letting go (But I’m not letting go)
