Don't give me ultimatums
Mean what you say verbatim
If all you had was tonight
Would you still be here by my side

Don't dance around the flowers
Your mom didn't raise no coward
Tell it to me straight
'Cause I know just what I would say

I want you but you want her
I look at you but then you turn
I watch you walk away
Oh

Every second that you lie
There's a piece of me that dies 'cause you don't feel the same
Oh but I know

If I'm standing in a burning room
If I'm staring at a bloody moon
The only flash before my eyes is you
If I'm running from a pack of wolves
And the danger's unescapable
The only flash before my eyes is you

I need you like grass needs rain
But it's greener where she stays
Hate that I love you
But it's something I can't undo

And it's like you have this power
Taking my thoughts, my hours
Tired of the games
I'm dancing feet inside the chains

If I'm standing in a burning room
If I'm staring at a bloody moon
The only flash before my eyes is you
If I'm running from a pack of wolves
And the danger's unescapable
The only flash before my eyes is you

You've given me a million reasons
I keep on ignoring the signs
I let you tear my heart to pieces
Still find a way to justify

If I'm standing in a burning room
If I'm staring at a bloody moon
The only flash before my eyes is you
If I'm running from a pack of wolves
And the danger's unescapable
The only flash before my eyes is you
