Lyrics:

[English]

I should've locked the door, pinned myself to the floor

Made someone cover my eyes

'Cause when the devil's on my left, telling me to go ahead

You're right back in my mind

I'm a human tug of war, how do I cut the chord?

Feel like I'm stumbling blind

And with the angel on my right, telling me to pick a side tonight

Too hard to fight, heart over mind, no

Oh, you make me wanna throw my body into the fire

Should've known better, 'cause you're dangerous

A painful love, too nice, too hard to find

Heart over mind, no

You make me wanna take you in and swallow my pride

Should've known better 'cause you're dangerous

A painful love, too nice, too hard to fight

Heart over mind, no

La-la-la-la, la, la

La, la, la, la

...

Too nice, too hard to fight

Heart over mind

You should've stayed away, known what a mess you've made

Said it's a bad idea (such a bad idea)

Should've picked kindness over cruel what a stupid thing to do

Now I, I can't rewind, heart over mind, no

You make me wanna throw my body into the fire

Should've known better 'cause you're dangerous

A painful love, too nice, too hard to find

Heart over mind, no

You make me wanna take you in and swallow my pride

Should've known better 'cause you're dangerous

A painful love, too nice, too hard to fight

Heart over mind, no

La-la-la-la, la, la

...

La, la, la, la

Too nice, too hard to find

Heart over mind

La-la-la-la, la, la, la-la-la-la, la, la

La-la-la-la, la, la

Should've known better 'cause you're dangerous

A painful love, too nice, too hard to fight

Heart over mind

...
