[Verse 1]
If I am too much for you
Would you give it up?
‘Cause I'm not the one to lose, you choose
If my heart's a ticking clock
Then count down the days
I hurt you so much, you bruise, fake news
[Pre-Chorus]
When you look in my eyes, see the regret
You know my past, it's hard to forget
I know you say I don't give a damn
[Chorus]
They call me blind
If we go the whole nine
Then fall at the finish line
Will you be there to dry my eyes?
If we jump the whole ten
And I mess it up again
I can tell you where this story ends
[Verse 2]
So would you take me back
When I mess up?
Knowing I fell off track, my bad (Oh-oh-oh)
And would you open the door
At three in the morning
When I can't take no more? Unsure
[Pre-Chorus]
When you look in my eyes, see the regret
You know my past, it's hard to forget
I know you say I don't give a damn
[Chorus]
They call me blind
If we go the whole nine
Then fall at the finish line
Will you be there to dry my eyes?
If we jump the whole ten
And I mess it up again
I can tell you where this story ends
[Bridge]
Running to the great unknown
Lightning everywhere we go
Tell me what I need to do to live again, oh-oh, oh-oh
See it burning up in flames
But we don't wanna take the blame
Tell me what I need to do to live again, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Mess with my mind and you'll be the next
Taste of my tears, cause and effect
I know you say I don't give a damn
[Chorus]
They call me blind (Oh-oh)
If we go the whole nine (Nine)
Then fall at the finish line
Will you be there to dry my eyes?
If we jump the whole ten
And I mess it up again (Oh-oh)
I can tell you where this story ends
[Post-Chorus]
Running to the great unknown
Lightning everywhere we go
Tell me what I need to do to live again, oh-oh, oh-oh
See it burning up in flames
But we don't wanna take the blame
Tell me what I need to do to live again, oh

The song is about letting this person into my life, with a reminder of how this can turn out. My childhood resulted in some deep scars leaving me with a complicated personality where things tend to be either very black, or – less often – totally w...
