Keep it in a small compartment in the back of your apartment.
Keep it locked and keep it hidden from view
'Cause you don't want to know what I could do with you.
I know you want to be the one who tried, the one who tried
But all you know is that it makes you sigh, it makes you sigh.
I know you want to be the one who got away
I know you want to be the one who can't stay for long

You cut it off and then you keep it in your heart you
Break another one because it makes you start to
Feel alive, I know it gives you a kick
But it's a lie and you're just making it stick
All you wanted was someone to come and save you
But now you're thinking you just gotta get away to
Another failed attempt, another great rejection
Another false regret, you've got a new attraction

It could never be this good again, you know it's true.
Even though we tried before, we couldn't see it through.

No, we don't have to be together.
No, we don't have to love each other forever.
All you have to do is take me with you
All you have to do is take me anywhere
We don't have to be together forever.
We don't have to love each other.
"All you have to do is take me some place beautiful,"
she said, "and then leave me there alone."

It could never be this good again, you know it's true.
Even though we tried before, we couldn't see it through.
It's the right time, it's the right way.
It's the right time, it's the right place.
