Please don't touch me, I've come to far to let you bring me down You think that I'm easy but try as you might you can't have me now These tedious dances we run through but I've memorized them all I quietly melt down and consent to you if only just to bawl
As I stare through you and I stand quite still And an alarm sounds just up the road I can tell you'd like some company but I can't fix you when you don't want me
I call for a witness, present the facts right down to little things They say the heart is resilient, in black and white you swore there'd be no strings I sneak out the back door, but the gavel strikes And I can hear you cry, under the sound of my footsteps This time there will be no long goodbye
As I stare through you and I stand quite still And an alarm sounds just up the road I can tell you'd like some sympathy but I can't fix you when you don't want me
How can I trust you? How could you need me now? Its getting to be so cold, old The decision is in and I won't break You cut and you run with our lives at stake Well someone might get hurt and it won't be me The decision is in there will be no fight It might sound cold but I know it's right Cause someone must get hurt and it won't be me
