[Verse 1]
Please don't touch me
I've come too far to let you bring me down
He thinks 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 now
I quietly melt down
And consent to you if only just to ball

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I call for the witness
Present the facts right down to the 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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
How can I trust you?
How could you need me now?
It's getting to be so cold, cold

[Outro]
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
