Meaning

"the song is more about taking yourself out of a situation, so in a way, I'm telling myself to leave, which is almost the harder thing to do. I think that's what it is about, that song. So many people have experienced that. You're coming back, and you think, 'I really shouldn't be in the situation, but here I am again.

Lyrics

I'm here just like I said
Though it's breaking every rule I've ever made
My racin' heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?

And I'd love to say I do, give everythin' to you
But I can never now be true so I say

I think I better leave right now
before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now,
feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

I'm here so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful, perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs
at least I'm spared the lows

And I would tremble in your arms,
what could be the harm
To feel my spirit calm? So I say

I think I better leave right now
before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now,
feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me out
before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

I wouldn't know how to say
how good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back, like you say,
But you may never know why once bitten twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain,
I couldn't bear to lose you again

I think I better leave right now
before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now,
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me out
before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Yes, I will

I think I better leave right now,
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me out
before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Play with the song, fill the gaps
