Degrees of Separation

Seems like we've run out of time
Like we're living at a different pace now
Seems like this fairytale we live in
Was not ours after all

We've done this so many times
Pretending that we're in love, but
The story always ends the same
We climb and then we fall

So, don't you ever come running back my way
I will always end up hurting you
Don't you ever come crawling back to me now
Like I know you'll do

I'm sorry to say this now
But I think you've become addicted
You and me and what we have
It's everything that I predicted

'Cause we've done this so many times
We act just out of desperation
What we need is not too hard
It's several degrees of separation

Don't you ever come running back my way
I will always end up hurting you
Don't you ever come crawling back to me now
Like I know you'll do
Don't you ever come begging me to love you
I will always end up breaking your heart
We are not meant to be together
We're meant to stay as far as we can apart

Don't you ever come running
I will always end up hurting you
Don't you ever come crawling
Like I know you'll do
Don't you ever come begging
I will always break your heart
Oh, don't you ever come here
'Cause I don't need your love
