preventative measure

If I believe you're too good to be true (true, ooh)

Then it's not real and I won't have to get over you

I'm just goin' through the motions, my heart's prematurely broken

I could jump, but what's the use?

If I decide you're not a threat (you're not a threat, ah-ah)

Not because you don't scare me, but because I won't let you be important

I won't have to protect my space if I don't let you it in the first place

I've demonized your good intent

You tell me not to worry about it

And I promise it's my pleasure (ah-ah)

I can never be sorry, I'll only be safe

If my whole life's a preventative measure

You tell me not to worry about it

But I'll just play dead forever

I can never be sorry, I'll only be safe

If I swear I'll never feel better
