Please don´t touch me, I´ve come too far to let you bring me down
You think that I´m easy, but try as you might you can´t have me now
These tedious dances we run through but I´ve memorized them all
I quietly melt down and consent to you if only just to bawl

As I stare through you and I stand quite still
And an alarm sounds just up the road
I can tell you´d like some company, but
I can´t fix you when you don´t want me

I call for a witness, present the facts right down to little things
They say the heart is resilient,
In black and white you swore there´d be no strings
I sneak out the back door, but the gavel strikes
And I can hear you cry, under the sound of my footsteps
This time there will be no long goodbye

As I stare through you and I stand quite still
And an alarm sounds just up the road
I can tell you´d like some sympathy, but
I can´t fix you when you don´t want me

How can I trust you? How could you need me now?
Its getting to be so cold, old
The decision is in and I won´t break
You cut and you run with our lives at stake
Well someone might get hurt and it won´t be me
The decision is in there will be no fight
It might sound cold but I know it´s right
Cause someone must get hurt and it won´t be me
