You're fighting me off like a firefighter
You're pushing me away with a lot of effort as if you were a firefighter getting rid of the flames.

So tell me why you still get burned
Despite you keeping your distance, you still feel the pain of our relationship.

You say you're not, but you're still a liar
You claim to not have any feelings, but your actions show that you do.

'Cause I'm the one that you run to first
I'm the first person you come to for comfort and support.

Every time, yeah, why do you try to deny it
You always deny your feelings, but it's evident to both of us that they exist.

When you show up every night
You keep coming back to me every night.

And tell me that you want me
You express your desire for me.

But it's complicated, so complicated
Our relationship is complex and hard to sort out.

When it hurts, but it hurts so good
Even though it causes pain, there's still pleasure in our relationship.

Do you take it? Do you break it off?
Do you endure the pain or end our relationship?

Can you say it, can you say it?
Can you admit that you still feel for me?

Every time that I swear it's over
Whenever I try to end our relationship,

It makes you want me even more
It only makes you want me more.

You pull away and I come in closer
While you try to create distance, I come closer to you.

And all we ever stay is torn
We're stuck in a state of confusion and torn emotions.

Wide awake through the daylight
Even during the day, we're alert and aware of each other.

Will you hold me like we're running a yellow light?
Will you embrace me and take a risk like driving through a yellow light?

Reach for you with my hands tied
I try to connect with you even when I'm restricted and limited.

Are we dancing like we're burning in paradise?
Is our relationship like a passionate dance despite the potential for destruction?

Oh, it hurts so good
The pain we feel is also mixed with pleasure.
