The bravest thing I've ever done Was to run away and hide. But not this time. Not this time. And the weakest thing I've ever done Was to stay right by your side. Just like this time And every time. I couldn't tell you I was happy you were gone, So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart. I couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you on But I didn't mean to break your heart. And if I always seemed distracted, Like my mind is somewhere else, That's because it's true. Yes, it's true. It's this stupid pride that makes me feel Like I have to follow through, Even half-assedly, Loving you. Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice? When I guess I should have just come out and told you Right from the start. Oh oh why must I always tell you what I want is this? I guess 'cos I wouldn't want to break your heart. You said "What d'ya think that I was gonna do? Curl up and die just because of you? I'm not that weak you know. What d'ya think that I was gonna do? Try to make you love me as much as I love you? How could you be so low? You arrogant man. What do you think that I am? My heart will be fine. Just stop wasting my time!" And now I know that you will be ok And that I've got what I want, And that's rid of you. Bye. And it's not 'cos I'll be missing you That makes me fall apart. It's just that I didn't mean to break, No, I didn't mean to break. No, I didn't mean to break your heart. Your heart.

From the get-go, I knew this was hard to hold Like a crash, the whole thing spun out of control Oh, on a wire, we were dancing Two kids, no consequences Pull the trigger without thinking There's only one way down this road It was like a time bomb set into motion We knew that we were destined to explode And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage You know I'm never gonna let you go We're like a time bomb Gonna lose it, let's defuse it Baby, we're like a time bomb But I need it, wouldn't have it any other way Well, there's no way out of this, so let's stay in Every storm that comes also comes to an end Oh, resistance is useless Just two kids stupid and fearless Like a bullet shooting the lovesick There's only one way down this road (come on) It was like a time bomb set into motion We knew that we were destined to explode And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage You know I'm never gonna let you go We're like a time bomb Gonna lose it, let's defuse it Baby, we're like a time bomb But I need it, wouldn't have it any other way Let me see those hands!
