here we go again

here we go again

our game of tug-of-war

for me it's real now

i'm not playing anymore

you try to wear me down

with your pretty pretty words

just when i think i'm done

i'm halfway out the door

you pull me in again

promising to give me more

yet i'm still surprised every time that i get hurt

i reach out to touch the flame

'cause i refuse to think it burns

retreat and lick my wounds

but of course i never learn

you're a rocket to the moon

i'm stranded on the ground

come back for what you lost

let me show you

show you what i found

here we go again

i lose myself in you

your love defines me

in a way i didn't want it to

if i keep holding on

you're going to bend me til i break

i'm coming face to face

with what i've always known

that i am terrified

of who i am when i'm alone

but now it's time to choose

which one of us i'm going to save

i reach out to touch the flame

'cause i refuse to think it burns

retreat and lick my wounds

but of course i never learn

you're a rocket to the moon

i'm stranded on the ground

come back for what you lost

let me show you

show you what i found

you could be

the greatest chance i'll never take

you'll always be

my worst and favorite mistake

i reach out to touch the flame

'cause i refuse to think it burns

retreat and lick my wounds

but of course i never learn

you're a rocket to the moon

i'm stranded on the ground

come back for what you lost

let me show you

show you what i found

and here i go

again
