Preventative measure

If I believe you're too good to be true
Then it's not real and I won't have to get over you

I'm just going through the motions
My heart's prematurely broken
I could jump, but what's the use?

If I decide you're not a threat (You're not a threat)
Not because you don't scare me but because I won't let you be important
I won't have to protect my space if I don't let you in in the first place
I've demonized your good intent

You tell me not to worry about it
And I promise it's my pleasure
I can never be sorry, I'll only be safe
If my whole life's a preventative measure

You tell me not to worry about it
But I'll just play dead forever
I can never be sorry, I'll only be safe
If I swear I'll never feel better
