[Verse 1]
EmJust stay there for a minuteD  
And just don't move any clCoser, move closer
I jEmust don't know if I can take itD  
It feels like over expoCsure, move closer
[Pre-Chorus]
EmBrick by brick and sGcar by scar
It's taDking me years to put up these guardsG  
I don't wanna get hurt agDain
Is it aEmgony or ecstGasy?
I fCeel safer now your close to me
And fDall apart
[Chorus]
EmOnce again I've bCroken, I've cruGmbled
I'm in piEmeces on the floor
EmDon't you know that daCmage you've doGne is
Just iDrreparablEme
You'll fCind me in the wreGckage of a lEmove so severe and it's cClear
I just don't kGnow what DI'm doCing
Your love lGeft me in rDuins
Won't you ruin me aEmgain?G  C

You tEmook my world as I know itD  
But I don't want any closCure, move closer
EmCause you've become my one thinDg

Is it Emdisaster or dGestiny
That I fCeel so right with you next to me
And fDall apart?
