lyrics

Tempted by a silhouette;
Illusions of a safety net that I'm sure to fall right through
She echoes in an alleyway;
Asking each and everyday if I'm ready to bend the rules

My body is begging and bleeding for me to go get her
But my senses are screaming and pleading for me to forget her
How I'd love to forget her

It's like I'm metal and she's magnetized;
Every time I catch her eye she somehow draws me in
I can barely fight my heart no more;
It's worn me down right to my core and maybe this time I'll let it win

I find myself thinking it's easy if I'd never met her
She's nothing but trouble she's begging for me to regret her
How I'd love to regret her

She's the reason I can't sleep
The secret that my heart won't keep
I fly so high and sink so deep
'Cause she's tearing me apart, I love her but I know she'll ruin me

If I take a leap of faith today,
Will I land or waste away on her cardboard avenue?
Well, with 20/20 aftersight,
I'm waiting on tomorrow night to find out what I should do

I find myself thinking it's easy if I'd never met her
She's nothing but trouble she's begging for me to regret her
How I'd love to regret her

She's the reason I can't sleep
The secret that my heart won't keep
I fly so high and sink so deep
'Cause she's tearing me apart, I love her but I know she'll ruin me

I'll disregard the danger if it's beautiful
And she's no exception to the rule
Paint yourself the picture of a tragedy
And it won't be hard to paint the fool

She's the reason I can't sleep
The secret that my heart just won't keep

She's the reason I can't sleep
The secret that my heart won't keep
I fly so high and sink so deep
'Cause she's tearing me apart, I love her but I know she'll ruin me
