[Verse 1]
Moved to the city
Kept myself busy making money
Chasing dreams like a junky
Feeling pretty lonely
A common hazard of the LA territory
Hard knock life taught me not to need anybody
Hold my aces close I don't believe we just get lucky
It could be tricky trying to fit you in this story

[Pre-Chorus]
You make me feel like a fool
Cause you make me break all my rules

[Chorus]
A goodbye on the tip of my tongue
I've got my shoes tied, and I'm ready to run
But I keep coming back
This must be serious
Serious, serious
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh

One foot out the door, one hand on the gun
I make my escape before it's even begun
But I keep coming back
This must be serious
Serious, serious
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
[Verse 2]
See the neon lights in your eyes
Stop looking at me
You think you've got me figured out
This is not a movie
I've spent my life building walls
You won't break them, trust me

[Pre-Chorus]
You make me feel like a fool
Cause you make me break all my rules

[Chorus]
A goodbye on the tip of my tongue
I've got my shoes tied, and I'm ready to run
But I keep coming back
This must be serious
Serious, serious
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh

One foot out the door, one hand on the gun
I make my escape before it's even begun
But I keep coming back
This must be serious
Serious, serious
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
[Verse 3]
I like you more than I like to admit
It's not a big deal, maybe it is
I like you more than I like to admit
It's not a big deal, maybe it is
Serious

[Chorus]
A goodbye on the tip of my tongue
I've got my shoes tied, and I'm ready to run
But I keep coming back
This must be serious
Serious, serious
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh

One foot out the door, one hand on the gun
I make my escape before it's even begun
But I keep coming back
This must be serious
Serious, serious
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
