There are so many things
That I wish I had the guts to do
Most of all I wish I had the power to love you
But I'm so sick of trying
To go against my mind
When I know I have a masochistic need inside

'Cause I'm scared to be alone
But it's better on my own
I don't know my wrong from right
And I'll always start a fight
You don't wanna see me blow

So don't get too close to me
You should set yourself free
You think it's so easy
But baby, you'll learn
Don't get too close to me
I can't control the heat
I'm like the third degree
And baby, you'll burn
Baby, you'll burn
(Mm-hmm)
You'll burn
(Mm-hmm)

Such a mess, I'm a fool
Know I shouldn't be running from you
I confess my self fulfilling prophecy came true
Because we're all led by example
I didn't grow up in a safe home
And I know you wanna show me what it means
But there's some things you just can't teach

'Cause I'm scared to be alone
But it's better on my own
I don't know my wrong from right
And I'll always start a fight
You don't wanna see me blow

Don't get too close to me
You should set yourself free
You think it's so easy
But baby, you'll learn
Don't get too close to me
I can't control the heat
I'm like the third degree
And baby, you'll burn
Baby, you'll burn
(Mm-hmm)
You'll burn
(Mm-hmm)
