Always were the kind of boy that I always hated
You were quick and cruel and highly over-rated
But behind my front was admiration

Breaking my own rules has caused me great frustration
I wanted to sort you out and color code and file you away
You were a mystery to me and I guess that's what made me stay


Just go away, I can't take this anymore
Baby just stay, I can't hate you anymore

And I'll take what I can get
Even if it's meaningless
And it's meaningless

Slow down
Slow down down down, down


Nothing left here to see now
The crowd has all gone home
The debris and my efforts, it dried up long ago

Wish I could finish what I started for just this once
But the kill is never greater than the thrill of the hunt
I wanted to understand you so much but my pride got in the way

Dealing with the PR-queens has never been my forte

Just go away, I can't take this anymore

Baby just stay, I can't take you anymore
And I'll take what I can get
Even if it's meaningless

And it's meaningless
Slow down
Slow down down down, down


What's said is said and what's done is done
I never realised what this would become

Oh, oh
We're just the same thing
We're just the same thing any

We're just the same thing
We're just the same thing anyway


Just go away, I can't take this anymore
Baby just stay, I can't hate you anymore
And I'll take what I can get

Even if it's meaningless
And it's meaningless
Slow down

Slow down down down, down
