We were doing so well,
We had broken the spell,
And freedom seemed just within reach
We had managed the bend,
Between lover and friend,
Found a place we could possibly meet,

Yes it's me,
I can't help myself,
I just run headlong to defeat,

Yes it's me,
I can't help myself,
I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat

I'm so hard on myself,
Don't deserve any help,
So I must let you go, let you go
So I pushed you away,
While I hoped you would stay,
But I don't let you know, let you know,

Yes it's me,
I can't help myself,
I keep running around to this beat,

Yes it's me,
I can't help myself,
I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat

Yes it's me,
I can't help myself,
I keep running around to this beat,

Yes it's me,
I can't help myself,
I defeat, I defeat, help me,

I can't help myself,
I defeat, I defeat, help me,

I can't help myself,
I defeat, I defeat, help me
