[Verse 1]
I told you I was looking for some empathy
Well, you fooled me
Just a touch and a thought and I was gone
And now someone's gonna get to know the better you
When I was supposed to
Oh, why did it have to be you?

[Verse 2]
I guess now the next time there's an opportunity
I'll tread more carefully
My heart's running out of cellotape
You know, how is it I've never felt that way before?
Oh, I was so sure
Oh, it wasn't going to be you

[Bridge]
Why do all the red flags
Just look like so much fun?
Oh, I have a habit of searching for the damaged
To share my love
I promised to be numb
But somehow you were the one
Now to unwind
Months of a good time
[Verse 3]
People will tell me that I messed up
And it wasn't love
And I'm secretly hoping they are right
Because​ whatever it was
It was wonderful, but non-functional
Oh, I really hope that they love you
