I know what you're trying to do, you can't rescue me
I know that's what you're trying to do, why don't you see?
If I knew what I was going to, have to go through
I'd say to you, just get out while you can
Cos I don't have a back up plan
I don't want to drag you down, cos once you're in I can't get you out
And i don't want to drag you down
I don't want to lose you in the fire,
Don't know how to save you when it gets higher
And i don't want to drag you down
How long is it gonna take?
You're not the only one who wants to know how long it's gonna take
Well I can show you love,
If I knew how to separate, I'd do what it takes
I'd make mistakes, and i'd still keep you safe
I just want to keep you safe
I don't want to drag you down, cos once you're in I can't get you out
And i don't want to drag you down
I don't want to lose you in the fire,
Don't know how to save you when it gets higher
And i don't want to drag you down
No I don't want to drag you down
No I don't want to drag you down
Cos I can't give you what you want from me,
I'm selfishly, stuck between
What I want and what you need
I'm not what you need
No I don't want to drag you down
Nothing's gonna save us now, one way track can't turn around
Nothing's gonna save us now
I know, there's no one to blame but there's no other way so,
I'll lead the way out
I don't want to drag you down.
