lyrics

"Stop, I beg you, come no further,” is my look behind your shoulder
I can't let you do this to yourself
Will I love you? Can I leave you? Might my lying eyes deceive you?
Said you were enchanted by a glance I gave you, let me save you
Couldn't stop this, from that first kiss

When I'm near you, I can feel it too
And I know that it's silly to feel so afraid
But I didn't expect this mistake to be made
And if I love you, this I need from you:
Take me straight at this measure, right to the line
For I promised myself a sincere love this time

Do you know me, understand me? I can see the way you've planned me
Put me high up on your pedestal
I don't want this! Do I need this? Something in the moments we kiss
Tears me and I feel myself fall down in circles, then my heart goes
Beating fast, oh, can this last? For...

When I'm near you, I can feel it too
And I know that it's silly to feel so afraid
But I didn't expect this mistake to be made
And if I love you, this I need from you:
Take me straight at this measure, right to the line
For I promised myself a sincere love this-

Take me straight at this measure, right to the line
For I promised myself a sincere love this-

When I'm near you, I can feel it too
And I know that it's silly to feel so afraid
But I didn't expect this mistake to be made
And if I love you, this I need from you:
Take me straight at this measure, right to the line
For I promised myself I'd be loved so much better this time
