This song is a warning for any potential love interest that the protagonist won’t take kindly to any attempts to change her.
[Verse 1]
I've tripped again
And things are starting to get interesting
Don't give me choices 'cause I can't decide
My mind is soaked in words
I've come to terms with all my insecurities
And purity's no friend of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
And dreaming doesn't do no good
'Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm alright
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
[Chorus]
'Cause I'll start another fight and you'll say it's all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me and fear what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me
[Verse 2]
You're kinda cool, but I know better than to break the rules
Of messin' with a lesson that I'll never learn
I'll go from bad to worse
And later back to better
But I'll never bet on bridges that are meant to burn
[Pre-Chorus]
And dreaming doesn't do no good
'Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm all right
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
[Chorus]
'Cause I'll start another fight and you'll say it's all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay those hands over me and fear what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me
[Bridge]
This is a warning
This is a warning
This is your warning
[Pre-Chorus]
And dreaming doesn't do no good
'Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm all right
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
[Chorus]
'Cause I'll start another fight and you'll say it's all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay those hands over me and fear what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me
[Outro]
If you're trying to change me
If you're trying to change me
