if i don’t kill you the first time, I will kill you the second time
if you don’t kill me the first time, I will kill you the second time
‘cause I’ve been burned many times before
now i’ve learned not to take any more
of your love

do you remember the day that we met
it’s a day i tried so hard to forget
it was a fire that you set in my heart with a single look
is it your ire i regret, or that i opened the book
i swore that i’d get even with you
no matter chances it took

if i don’t kill you the first time, I will kill you the second time
if you don’t kill me the first time, I will kill you the second time
‘cause I’ve been burned many times before
now i’ve learned not to take any more
of your love

i remember the lessons i learned
do you forget all the ways that i burned for you
in the seasons that turned from the summer of my fall
i sent legions to burn where i suffered in the hall
i swore that i’d get even with you
no matter who i struck with the ball

you ask for worship like you think we cannot tell
everyone you take in your arms you leave a hollow shell

if i don’t kill you the first time, I will kill you the second time
after you killed me the first time, after you killed me the second time
‘cause I’ve been burned many times before
now i’ve learned not to take any more
of your love
