You lean in and I fall
Close you eyes and I'm gone
You tell me I'm wrong
And kiss me with a lie
If you want out, say the word
Don't worry about how bad it hurts
Start throwing your punches
Tell me something that I don't already know

Don't you back down now
Take your best swing
Go ahead and tell me I don't mean a thing

And lay it on me
Say it, don't keep
Dragging me around
By the heart on my sleeve
Don't you back down now
And take your best swing
And hit me with the truth
But don't you kiss me with a lie

Say he's a better man than me
Everything I'll never be
You can wish me well
Or tell me to go to hell
But don't you kiss me with a lie

Don't you back down now
And take your best swing
Go ahead and tell me I don't mean a thing

And lay it on me
Say it, don't keep
Dragging me around by the heart on my sleeve

Don't you back down now
Take your best swing
And hit me with the truth
But don't you kiss me with a lie

Don't you back down now
Take your best swing
Go ahead and tell me
I don't mean a thing
And lay it on me
Say it, don't keep
Dragging me around by the heart on my sleeve

Don't you back down now
Take your best swing
And hit me with the truth
But don't you kiss me with a lie

But don't you kiss me with a lie
But don't kiss me with a lie
