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 every day 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, yeah
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, 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
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 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
