[Verse 1]
I regret my every action, though I'm not sure what I've done
So it's over in a blur, wish I could say that it's been fun
But we never were together, yet never were apart
And in truth all that's been "broken up" is my overzealous heart
So I'm done with all the seeking, the wishing and the hope
I missed my chance when it was there, and now I just can't cope
With my lingering but cancerous emotions still left
That're eating away at me, making me bereft
[Chorus]
So you'll never be with me
I am making that decree
Cutting it off before it starts again;
Keeping you as a friend
So, "friends": That's all we'll ever be
Because I can't trust you and I certainly...
[Verse 2]
I'm removing my name from the list, in case you place a new check-mark
I don't want a repeat of this, this keeping me in the dark
I was never sure what to do, and it drove me up the wall
How could I not see that that's what would make me take a fall?
Now I'm remembering, getting carried away
It's over for good. That's what I say!
I'm stopping the relapse before the original disease
Haven't checked out a single book, but I'm paying the late fees
[Chorus]
So you'll never be with me
I am making that decree
Cutting it off before it starts again;
Keeping you as a friend
So, "friends": That's all we'll ever be
Because I can't trust you and I certainly
Can not trust me
Can not trust me
Can not trust me
[Bridge]
It feels like my heart's taking a bullet for my heart
So I have to wonder if what I'm doing is really all that smart
Will I learn my lesson, will I learn?
Or is this a huge mistake, am I sabotaging myself?
Will I burn?
Will I burn?
[Chorus]
So you'll never be with me
I am making that decree
Cutting it off before it starts again;
Keeping you as a friend
So, "friends": That's all we'll ever be
Because I can't trust you and I certainly
[Outro]
Can not trust me
Will I burn?
Can not trust me
Will I burn?
Can not trust me
Will I burn?
Can not trust me
Will I burn?
