If I lose you too in the same way I lost her, it just proves how pitiful and useless I have been. No more 3rd time. It hit like a bus the first time; it'll hit like a train this time.

Shit, this ain't good. This aint going the way it should.
Don't like this, don't like that, but you're making my heart beat fast.
Trying to block it and ignore it but you're making me restless, dammit!
Don't be vague, tell me straight what you're hiding with those-- wait!
Gotta breath, calm my ass. This aint something I should fuss.
(i like you)
