Ensure my words have not been said before

Ever adventuring, a shining light
D Bm F#m A
The positivity that's in your life

Em Bm
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody

And you'll forget it when you're closer

When we get closer
D Bm
You'll slowly get over me
Gm D Bm F#m A
So don't get closer

And as we get older
