Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know that I can't have it all
But without you, I am afraid I'll fall
I know I'm playing with your heart
And I could treat you better, but I'm not that smart
[Verse 2]
When it comes to love, you're an easy fight
A flower in a gun, a bird in flight
It isn't fair and it isn't right
To lead you on like it's all alright
[Verse 3]
I played with your heart
And I could treat you better, but I'm not that smart
You still mean everything to me, to me
But I wanna be free
[Verse 4]
I'll ruin, yeah, I'll ruin you, I'll ruin
I've been doing things I shouldn't do
Things I shouldn't do
Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
[Verse 5]
It's difficult to move on
When nothing was right and nothing's wrong
You still can't look me in the eye
'Cause you've been bitten once and now you're twice as shy
[Verse 6]
I've had my share of beautiful men
But I'm still young and I want to love again
It's difficult to say goodbye
And easier to live a lover's lie
[Verse 7]
And I've tried to say
Babe, I'm gonna ruin you if you let me stay
You still mean everything to me, to me
But I wanna be free
[Verse 8]
I'll ruin, yeah, I'll ruin you, I'll ruin
I've been doing things I shouldn't do
Things I shouldn't do
Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
[Verse 9]
It doesn't feel right and it doesn't feel fair
When I'm planning to move on and you're still standing there
Don't wanna keep a secret, but I don't know how to keep it fair, yeah
[Verse 10]
I'll ruin, yeah, I'll ruin you, I'll ruin
I've been doing things I shouldn't do
Things I shouldn't do
But I don't wanna say goodbye, goodbye
But baby, I don't wanna lie
To lie, to lie to you
I'm a ruin
[Verse 11]
Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
