[Verse 1]
Silly me, look what I did again
I found what I want
Is what I cannot have
I didn't mean to be so predictable
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible
[Pre-Chorus]
And it isn't something I need
'Til you tell me I can't
Why wear my heart on my sleeve
It looks so good in your hands
[Chorus]
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
No, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
[Verse 2]
Little girl, I don't know why you stay
If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away
Cause old habits are so hard to break
It'd be a shame to stop now that I've started to make really good mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know why I must ask
For the forbidden fruit
I saw the snake in the grass
But I had bitten too soon
[Chorus]
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
No, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
[Bridge]
I should have seen you coming in
Should recognize the signs a wave's gonna break
Now, given in, why fight it when
I'm resigned to simply live in your wake
Your wake
[Chorus]
Heart breaks in a heart beat
You storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
No, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
No, no, no, no, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
[Outro]
Couldn't let me go
Taking me away
Taking me away
Taking me away
Taking me away
