Someone Must Get Hurt
Please don't touch meI've come too far to let you bring me downHe thinks that I'm easy but try as you mightYou can't have me nowThese tedious dances we run throughBut I've memorized them nowI quietly melt down and consent to youIf only just to bawl
[Chorus:]As I stare through you and I stand quite stillAnd an alarm sounds just up the roadI can tell you'd like some companyBut I can't fix you and you don't want me
I call for the witnessPresent the facts right down to the little thingsThey say the heart is resilientIn black and white you swore there'd be no stringsI sneak out the back door but the gavel strikesAnd I can hear you cryUnder the sound of my footstepsThis time there will be no long goodbye
[Chorus]
How can I trust you?How could you need me now?It's getting to be so cold, ohThe decision is in that I won't breakYou cut and you run with our lives at stakeWell, someone might get hurt and it won't be meThe decision is in, there will be no fightIt might sound cold but I know it's right'Cause someone must get hurt and it won't be me
