1 2 3 4

Threatened by the law

I crawled in a comfortable lap

Crucified by love, ooh

I fell in a predictable trap

All at what cost?

All I could think about was that

And all that was lost

That I've seen in dreams

Simple as 1 2 3 4

Methodical persuasion

I know you've done this before

You've mastered the equation

But you'll only hurt yourself, not me

And anyone you've done it to before

You'll also bear the weight of

I don't need to settle the score

You are the perpetrator

You'll judge yourself, you'll never be free

The cheater never wins

Even if he ends the game with the highest score

And the liar never knows love

You can't earn that through force

I know the illusion of power

Just leaves you needing more

In your loneliest hour

You'll be haunted by me

Simple as 1 2 3 4

Methodical persuasion

I know you've done this before

You've mastered the equation

But you'll only hurt yourself, not me

And anyone you've done it to before

You'll also bear the weight of

I don't need to settle the score

You are the perpetrator

You'll judge yourself, you'll never be free
