I heard a distant, early warning
But I chose to ignore it
It came back and bit me
Seems like we're victims of bad timing
Cause you wanted more than I did
I can't give you what you need

PRE-CHORUS
She said, "Hold me, hold me. Closely, closely."
That's when I should have run ...

CHORUS
3, 2, 1
It's the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would've know to doubt you
I'm better off alone without you

3, 2, 1
It's the same old story, love gets gory
Why'd we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

I got so caught up in the moment
That I forgot what it all meant
But still I'd do it all again
You said, "No strings attached, I'm wild"
I didn't know you were in denial
And you became my ball and chain 

PRE-CHORUS
She said, "Hold me, hold me. Closely, closely."
That's when I should have run ...

CHORUS
3, 2, 1
It's the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would've know to doubt you
I'm better off alone without you

3, 2, 1
It's the same old story, love gets gory
Why'd we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

PRE-CHORUS
She said, "Hold me, hold me. Closely, closely
Hold me, hold me. Closely, closely."
That's when I should have run, run, run, run

CHORUS
3, 2, 1
It's the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would've know to doubt you
I'm better off alone without you

3, 2, 1
It's the same old story, love gets gory
Why'd we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

She's holding on while she can
Why'd we have to go and change things?
She's holding on while she can
Now touching you is such a strange thing

She's so out of hand
I'm dreading all that baggage and what it brings
She's so out of hand
But still I'd do it all again
