So this is how it goes
We both know
There is some semblance of attraction
But I can’t let it show
‘Cause only I know
That you’ll burn up in this reaction
You’d best keep your distance
Let this be good riddance
We both know I tried
But now you’d better run and hide
For my persistence and
All my resistance will
Like knives, cut you up inside
Hold on, hold on and you will see
Hold on, hold on, hold on,
You’re better off with me gone
Sometimes I feel ashamed
Of the games
I play to make our heart beat faster
And I’m the one to blame
‘Cause even though I feel the same,
I am capable of only disaster
Please yield to my warnings,
You’ll wake up in the morning
Only to find
I’m no longer by your side
It’s not that you’ve wronged me or
That I’ve been longing for
Something aside
It’s just that I can never be alright
Hold on, hold on and you will see
Hold on, hold on, hold on,
You’re better off with me gone
And what hurts me the most is that you’ll move on
And find someone to make you happier than I could
And I’ll still be alone, ‘cause I have never known
How to make love last when we know it should
Hold on, hold on and you will see
Hold on, hold on, hold on,
You’re better off with me gone
