Before This Even Starts

[Verse 1]

I know how this goes

You're gonna tell me that I'm beautiful

I won't believe a word, I know

But thanks, though

You're just like the rest

You're gonna love me, then you leave me

Don't got time to build myself again

Better stay where you stand

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause as soon as something's going well

Gotta fuck it all up, gotta ruin it

Can't have good things

'Cause as soon as something's going well

Gotta fuck it all up, gotta ruin it

Can't have good things

[Chorus]

I don't wanna let you in

'Cause you'll let me down, you'll be another one

Couldn't work it out

But before this even starts, I'm thinking 'bout

How you're gonna break my heart

[Verse 2]

It's all in my head

There's no other way it's going

I'm convinced that this is bound to end

Oh, it always ends

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause as soon as something's going well

Gotta fuck it all up, gotta ruin it

Can't have good things

'Cause as soon as something's going well

Gotta fuck it all up, gotta ruin it

Can't have good things

[Chorus]

I don't wanna let you in

'Cause you'll let me down, you'll be another one

Couldn't work it out

But before this even starts, I'm thinking 'bout

How you're gonna break my heart

[Bridge]

I'm waiting for the crash, ready for the fall

Saying it's different, oh, I've heard it all

But before this even starts, I'm thinking 'bout

How you're gonna break my heart

Bracing for the worst 'cause loving you is gonna hurt

Bracing for the worst 'cause loving you is gonna hurt

[Outro]

I don't wanna let you in

'Cause you'll let me down, you'll be another one

Couldn't work it out

But before this even starts, I'm thinking 'bout

How you're gonna break my heart
