I never feared the unexpected
Till I found myself in this peculiar place
Unaware of where I was headed

Turns out it was your footsteps I had chased

Well I should know so much better than this

But you've occupied the center of my universe

I'm moving in reverse

Under your mighty curse
I hate myself for loving you
I turn my head away

But my heart will remain
Till the day I learn you're no good for me


It's illogical and it's outrageous
The way I let you keep me hanging on
Your character is that contagious

I know I should have thought before I had done
I've gone and let my impulse be my guide
And on that note, I'll be defenseless for some time


[Chorus]


Hey you there, keep your distance
Don't you come around here
Don't test my patience baby

Cause I ain't gonna let you off easy

[Chorus]
