[Verse 1] Everybody has been burned before Everybody knows the pain Anyone in this place can tell you to your face Why you shouldn't try to love someone [Verse 2] Everybody knows it never works Everybody knows and me I know that door that shuts just before You get to the dream you see [Verse 3] I know all too well how to turn, how to run How to hide behind a bitter wall of blue But you die inside if you choose to hide So I guess instead I'll love you
