You've always gotten me in trouble, old friend
And I won't let you take me down again
Always has it been the same routine:
I think, I fall, I plead.
There's always new terrain left to discover
A new place, new face, a new lover
Dear friend, take me through your new routes
And let us not tread back to that fool

My thoughts tricked me to think his words true
But alas, my subconscious already knew
But you held my hand throughout the journey, friend
For that I suppose we should make amends
I forgive you for letting me take that path
Because now I know I won't look back

I fell for him, I won't lie, I did
And I hate that you aided him
I could not find my two feet
But without your help
I remembered my old beat

I pleaded for my heart to let go
Of this Reckless creature that held on so
See here, pal, I'm taking the lead this time
For last option he gave me, the decision is mine
Let me confide in you, the answer is no.
