[Verse 1]

I regret my every action, though I'm not sure what I've done

So it's over in a blur, wish I could say that it's been fun

But we never were together, yet never were apart

And in truth all that's been "broken up" is my overzealous heart

So I'm done with all the seeking, the wishing and the hope

I missed my chance when it was there, and now I just can't cope

With my lingering but cancerous emotions still left

That're eating away at me, making me bereft

[Chorus]

So you'll never be with me

I am making that decree

Cutting it off before it starts again;

Keeping you as a friend

So, "friends": That's all we'll ever be

Because I can't trust you and I certainly...

[Verse 2]

I'm removing my name from the list, in case you place a new check-mark

I don't want a repeat of this, this keeping me in the dark

I was never sure what to do, and it drove me up the wall

How could I not see that that's what would make me take a fall?

Now I'm remembering, getting carried away

It's over for good. That's what I say!

I'm stopping the relapse before the original disease

Haven't checked out a single book, but I'm paying the late fees

[Chorus]

So you'll never be with me

I am making that decree

Cutting it off before it starts again;

Keeping you as a friend

So, "friends": That's all we'll ever be

Because I can't trust you and I certainly

Can not trust me

Can not trust me

Can not trust me

[Bridge]

It feels like my heart's taking a bullet for my heart

So I have to wonder if what I'm doing is really all that smart

Will I learn my lesson, will I learn?

Or is this a huge mistake, am I sabotaging myself?

Will I burn?

Will I burn?

[Chorus]

So you'll never be with me

I am making that decree

Cutting it off before it starts again;

Keeping you as a friend

So, "friends": That's all we'll ever be

Because I can't trust you and I certainly

[Outro]

Can not trust me

Will I burn?

Can not trust me

Will I burn?

Can not trust me

Will I burn?

Can not trust me

Will I burn?
