Always were the kind of boy that I always hated
You were quick and cruel and highly over-rated
But behind my front was admiration
Breaking my own rules has caused me great frustration
I wanted to sort you out and color code and file you away
You were a mystery to me and I guess that's what made me stay

Just go away, I can't take this anymore
Baby just stay, I can't hate you anymore
And I'll take what I can get
Even if it's meaningless
And it's meaningless
Slow down
Slow down down down, down

Nothing left here to see now
The crowd has all gone home
The debris and my efforts, it dried up long ago
Wish I could finish what I started for just this once
But the kill is never greater than the thrill of the hunt
I wanted to understand you so much but my pride got in the way
Dealing with the PR-queens has never been my forte

Just go away, I can't take this anymore
Baby just stay, I can't take you anymore
And I'll take what I can get
Even if it's meaningless
And it's meaningless
Slow down
Slow down down down, down

What's said is said and what's done is done
I never realised what this would become
Oh, oh
We're just the same thing
We're just the same thing any
We're just the same thing
We're just the same thing anyway

Just go away, I can't take this anymore
Baby just stay, I can't hate you anymore
And I'll take what I can get
Even if it's meaningless
And it's meaningless
Slow down
Slow down down down, down
