On the 28th floor and climbing looking up but never behind Like reaching the sky line could ever satisfy you Is it cause you think the higher you get The further your fears will be Or is it because behind that wall it's nothing but empty? You kept me close, let me falter And I, I couldn't recover You kept me close got what you wanted And I ain't, ain't even your lover I've got your number I've got your name And I know it's about time, I lose both of them Cause my piece of mind and my precious time mean more to me now Than keeping myself good in your eyes and holding you up in a crowd You kept me close, let me falter And I, I couldn't recover You kept me close got what you wanted And I ain't, ain't even your lover Does friendship mean nothing We're ain't solid Do you even feel something? Is forgiveness beyond us? So keep on striving climb to be seen And maybe one day they'll think it had nothing to do with me When you reach that ceiling cause baby I know you will And it all come crashing down Don't be wanting Until I build you up, make you stronger But for what? (You ain't even my lover) I built you up, made you stronger But I ain't, (I ain't even your lover) You kept me close, let me falter And I, I couldn't recover You kept me close got what you wanted And I ain't, ain't even your lover
