Don't Stop Now lyrics

Follow you close, four steps behind.

Part of me knew all of this time.

Pushed it down deep, kept it so small

to help me keep these fragile rules

from crashing down around my feet.

Don't make a sound, just let you be.

Lost in her face, can't turn away.

This final blow helps me let go.

Don't stop now.

I need this to hurt,

bounded into my mind.

No more second-guessing anymore,

this is how it ends.

So don't stop now.

Get my head on straight

and if seeing this is what intakes,

please, don't stop it now.

This will be the last time.

This darkened street, you go to hide,

illuminates - you are not mine.

These days run cold - my body numb.

I am not whole, what have you done?

It all makes sense, to disconnect,

too many words we left unsaid.

But still I stare frozen here

until the curtains close.

Don't stop now.

I need this to hurt,

bounded into my mind.

No more second-guessing anymore,

this is how it ends.

So don't stop now.

Get my head on straight

and if seeing this is what intakes,

please, don't stop it now.

This will be the last time.

So don't stop now.

I need to see this through

until this final bar.

Illusions gone.

The show is done,

so don't stop now.

Follow you close, four steps behind.

Part of me knew you were not mine.

Don't stop now.

I need this to hurt,

bounded into my mind.

No more second-guessing anymore,

this is how it ends.

So don't stop now.

Get my head on straight

and if seeing this is what intakes,

please, don't stop it now.

Let this be the last time.
