[Verse]
To this scar you bear no resemblance
Did you wound me there once before?
Because I know that I can
Just hold on to my hand
And not yours
And not yours
[Chorus]
Because I don't allow
Myself to get caught up now
I'm telling you
I'm here to get lost
I don't count the cost of losing
Losing you
[Verse]
I could wish that I was a stranger
But then I'd stop hearing your voice
What I want is to know
That what I can let go
Won't stay here
Won't stay here
[Chorus]
Because I don't allow
Myself to get caught up now
I'm telling you
I'm here to get lost
I don't count the cost of losing you
[Bridge]
Because I'll take my own as I cut right through
And I won't hold on 'cause you asked me to
I can't have what's mine if I take it from you
[Verse]
And there is easier to return to
And there is harder to leave behind
But you can go on now
And just hope you know how you will know
You will know
[Chorus]
Because I don't allow
Myself to get caught up now
I'm telling you
I'm here to get lost
I don't count the cost of losing
Losing you
