I know that you don't but I still remember
How we met that night in September
Trying to make some other guy jealous by flirting with you and your friends
Pushed my way in oh yeah I interrupted, using clever lines so casually constructed
Never thought it would backfire so badly
Falling for you crazy, stupid, madly
I know you want to shut me out
And I can't make you face me, make you face it
I rolled the dice but you've got the reins now
How did I let it spiral so far down
I had the upper hand now my cards are dealt, and you, guess you've got the power
Know what to expect so why so affronted, to prove to myself I'm not what you wanted?
I fanned the flames while you lit the matches, know that when I drop you're not there to catch me
I know you want to shut me out
And I can't make you face me, make you face it
All I do is hold you down
But please don't misplace me, take me, waste me
Felt the fear for so long, every night, woken by your phone light
What's been going on? Feels safer to know, but I still won't let you go
Know what to expect so why so affronted, to prove to myself I'm not what you wanted?
I fanned the flames while you lit the matches
Know that when I drop you're not there to catch me
I know you want to shut me out
And I can't make you face me, make you face it
All I do is hold you down (I hold you, I hold you)
But please don't misplace me (no!), take me, waste me (No-oh-oh!)
I can't make you face me (no!), make you face it
