[English]

You just wanna dance

Feels like our final act

You're holding my hand

My mind sees a grizzly trap

I know you, I've seen you

I've watched you around

Everyone trusts you

They love you out loud

You won't hurt a fly, but we're flying up now

And all that goes up, well, it's got to come down

Your love is a threat, and I'm nauseous

Scares me to death, how I want it

Not common sense, but I'm haunted

By people who've left, so you scare me to death

Yeah, you scare me

...

With people before

They left like a falling floor

And therе as I soared

I vowed to be nеvermore

Too trusting and loving, depending, and kind

Behind every kiss is a jaw that could bite

And maybe that's why I feel safe with bad guys

Because when they hurt me

I won't be surprised

Your love is a threat and I'm nauseous

Scares me to death, how I want it

Not common sense, but I'm haunted

By people who've left, so you scare me to death

Yeah, you scare me

...

Maybe I'm here waiting for someone

To get through my years of trying to trust them

I know that it's in me to really love someone

But that's not a thing that I learned from my loved ones, oh

Your love is a threat, and I'm nauseous

Scares me to death, how I want it

Not common sense, but I'm haunted

By people who've left, so you scare me to death

Yeah, you scare me

...

Yeah, you scare me

...
