I think I might be a fortune teller
I read you face just like a letter
The funny thing about forever,
Is that it comes with a side of never-never

I can't buy into what you're selling
And no, its not that I don't want it
Believe me, I'd love to close my eyes, enjoy the ride
But you reek of indecision tonight

(I know, I know, I know...)

You're only gonna let me down
When it comes to count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down
Oh!

I am too smart to let you in here
But I'm just dumb enough to linger
I wanna think that you'll be different
Smoke and mirrors are so clever-clever
I pretend that things aren't so bad
And what you say will actually happen
I've been dying to open my eyes, see you try
Instead of always leaving me out to dry

(I know, I know, I know...)

You're only gonna let me down
When it comes to count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down
Oh!

I need to be there when you say you're gonna be
I care too much and you care enough to leave
I want some place to rest my head without worrying
It's not fair, it's not fair,
It's not fair to me
'Cause I know by now

You're only gonna let me down
When it comes to count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down

You're only gonna let me down
When it comes to count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down
Oh!
