Innocent eyes looking at mine
Baby I see that you're falling now
It's gonna hurt when I let you down
It's not that I like to leave when it's right
But over and over again
I've only seen love that ends
Before you get too hurt
May I do it first? Hmm
I tried to warn you, I begged you to leave
But you tried to fix me, oh, don't be naïve
You wanted somebody that I'll never be
But that's what you get
When your heart's in the hands of a man like me
Your tears hit the floor like many before
From strangers to lovers to enemies
I wish that I could be your remedy
I hate to say "I told you so"
I'm not the type to get too close
I hope you learned your lesson
But you're no exception
Before you get too hurt
May I do it worse?
(You know I'll do it worse)
I tried to warn you, I begged you to leave
But you tried to fix me, oh, don't be naïve
You wanted somebody that I'll never be
But that's what you get
When your heart's in the hands of a man like me
(Oooh, oooh)
In the hands of a man like me
(Oooh, oooh)
In the hands of a man like me
