[Verse 1]

It's like driving with the headlights out

Going too fast and we can't slow down

Drinking 'cause we know it's wrong

Drinking 'till it's right, yeah

It's like driving with the headlights out

[Pre-Chorus]

So cordial, so stable

So sure, but so confused

Too selfish, too lonely

Too hard to face the truth

I gotta say

[Chorus]

Before the damage is done

Before you take what you want

Before I take too long

This isn't what I really want

Before the damage is done

Before you're calling it love

Before I break your heart

This isn't what I really want

Want, want, want

This isn't what I really want

[Verse 2]

It's like swimming with a 10-ton weight

Start to struggle, but you know your fate

There's no need to kill the lights

It's obvious you're blind

Well, I guess I found another way to lie

[Pre-Chorus]

So cordial, so stable

So sure, but so confused

Too selfish, too lonely

Too hard to face the truth

I gotta say

[Chorus]

Before the damage is done

Before you take what you want

Before I take too long

This isn't what I really want

Before the damage is done

Before you're calling it love

Before I break your heart

This isn't what I really want

Want, want, want

This isn't what I really want

Want, want, want

This isn't what I really want

(This isn't what I really want)

[Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]

So cordial, so stable

So sure, but so confused

Too selfish, too lonely

But I, but I can't commit to you

Ooh, ooh

No, no, no, this isn't what I really want

[Chorus]

I gotta say

Before the damage is done

Before you take what you want

Before I take too long

This isn't what I really want

Before the damage is done

Before you're calling it love

Before I break your heart

This isn't what I really want

Want, want, want

This isn't what I really want

Before the damage is done

Before you're calling it love

Before I break your heart

This isn't what I really want
