Lyrics
Before we rush into this new relation
I need to get this off my chest.
Understand why we're having this conversation:
I'm trying to avoid the stress.
Coz I don't wanna end up like before,
when I crashed and burned.
With you I don't wanna risk taking wrong turns, no.
Coz I learned my lesson:
Don't jump into waters if you haven't even
scratched the surface,
what's the purpose
of falling in and out of love?
Coz I don't wanna be the one to blame
No one should have to mend a broken heart
We're moving way too fast in just one lane
I can't help but feel
And I know that it hurts
and I don't wanna lose your love
But I'm only concerned
coz I don't wanna crash and burn.
You say you understand and you agree that
you have to walk before you run
but time will reveal if it's real or if it's fleeting
you reassure me if i just let go
i won't crash and burn
but i'm standing my ground to pace myself for more, yea
Coz I learned my lesson:
Don't jump into waters if you haven't even
scratched the surface,
what's the purpose
of falling in and out of love?
Coz I don't wanna be the one to blame
No one should have to mend a broken heart
We're moving way too fast in just one lane
I can't help but feel
And I know that it hurts
and I don't wanna lose your love
But I'm only concerned
coz I don't wanna crash and burn.
I know that you're a man but you don't seem to understand the repercussions of your actions.
You want me to be your girl but I'm not ready to be hurt or put my love and trust in you yet.
No, I, I don't wanna crash and burn, no, I, take it from the lesson i learned, no, I, I don't wanna crash and burn, again.
Coz I don't wanna be the one to blame
No one should have to mend a broken heart
We're moving way too fast in just one lane
I can't help but feel
And I know that it hurts
and I don't wanna lose your love
But I'm only concerned
coz I don't wanna crash and burn.
