Please don't touch me,
I've come too far to let you bring me down
You think that I'm easy,
but try as you might, you can't have me now
These tedious dances
we run through
But I've memorized them all
I quietly melt down
and consent to you if only just to bawl

As I stare through you and I stand quite still
And an alarm sounds just up the road
I can tell you'd like some company,
but I can't fix you when you don't want me

I call for a witness,
present the facts right down to little things
They say the heart is resilient,
In black and white you swore there'd be no strings
I sneak out the back door, but the gavel strikes
And I can hear you cry, under the sound of my footsteps
This time there will be no long goodbye

As I stare through you and I stand quite still
And an alarm sounds just up the road
I can tell you'd like some sympathy, but
I can't fix you when you don't want me

How can I trust you?
How could you need me now?
It's getting to be so cold, old
The decision is in and I won't break
You cut and you run with our lives at stake
Well someone might get hurt and it won't be me
The decision is in there will be no fight
It might sound cold but I know it's right
Cause someone must get hurt and it won't be me
