Baby really hurt me
I was deeply hurt by someone I cared about

Crying in the taxi
I was so upset that I broke down and cried in a taxi

He don't wanna know me
The person who hurt me no longer wants anything to do with me

Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
He regrets getting involved with such a complicated and tumultuous person like me

Says it was poison
He believes that being with me was a damaging and toxic experience

So I guess I'll go home
I have nowhere else to go but back to my familiar surroundings

Into the arms of the girl that I love
I seek comfort from the person who truly cares about me

The only love I haven't screwed up
I consider this person to be the only one I have not ruined a relationship with

She's so hard to please
She has high standards and I struggle to meet them

But she's a forest fire
She is intense and passionate, like a wildfire

I do my best to meet her demands
I try my hardest to satisfy her expectations

Play at romance, we slow dance
We try to keep the romance alive by spending time together, even if it's just slow dancing in the living room

In the living room, but all that a stranger would see
To an outsider, it would look like I am alone, dancing with no one

Is one girl swaying alone
I am dancing alone, feeling the weight of my problems

Stroking her cheek
I am touching my own face, perhaps to comfort myself or to feel something

They say, "You're a little much for me
People often find me too difficult to handle

You're a liability
I am a risk to others and bring them down

So they pull back, make other plans
They distance themselves from me and find other ways to cope

I understand, I'm a liability
I realize that I am not easy to deal with and accept the consequences of my actions

Get you wild, make you leave
I tend to bring out the wild side in people, but eventually they get overwhelmed and leave me

I'm a little much for
I am too intense or overbearing for

E-a-na-na-na, everyone
Everyone, universally

The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy
People like playing with me and experiencing my highs and lows

'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore
Eventually, my act wears thin and people lose interest

And then they are bored of me
They become tired of me and look for something else to entertain them

I know that it's exciting
I know that my behavior is thrilling and unpredictable

Running through the night, but
I am always on the go and never seem to slow down

Every perfect summer's
Each summer, which seems flawless and ideal

Eating me alive until you're gone
Eventually, the joyful aspects of these summers become overwhelming and cause me pain

Better on my own
Sometimes it's easier to be alone than to deal with the complications that come with relationships

They're gonna watch me
Others will observe me and my actions

Disappear into the sun
I will fade away, perhaps to a better, brighter place

You're all gonna watch me
Everyone will bear witness to my eventual departure

Disappear into the sun
I will fade away, perhaps to a better, brighter place
