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]
