I needed time to think things through You took my heart and ripped it in two You're only human for a while So why spend it in denial? It's not that I only loved her face I needed her to be a bit deeper With that I knew she was worth the chase But in the end all she was was a blur I needed time to think things through You took my heart and ripped it in two But you're only human for a while So why spend it in denial? You took my head and you turned it into rust Mislead the pure; all I ever did was help you Now all that's done, and my heart returns to dust It's all because you do what you do But you're only human for a while So why spend it in denial? I thought I had it figured out this time But it seems like I never really knew at all I thought I had it figured out this time But I guess I never really knew at all I spotted you from across the room Our eyes locked and I had to talk to you I made my way across the floor But by the time I got there you'd started to dance You started to dance, so I took your hand I led you down a road you'd never forget It seems so right but it looks like I played the fool And that I'll always regret
