Saying no to you
Is the best thing I can do
I need to see you walk away
I'm tired of the games you play
You still come around
You call me when I'm down
And I tell you that it won't work
And you tell me that it won't hurt
But I always end up worse
You try to pull me under
I'm tellin' you it's over
This isn't what you said it was
It ain't how it was and fun
You're bad for me and now I'm done
Finally have the strength to run
From temptation
From temptation
It's gon' take some work
But I believe in what I'm worth
It might not be easy
I'm stronger than I used to be
What I want you can't give me
What I want you can't give me
You try to pull me under
I'm tellin' you it's over
This isn't what you said it was
It ain't how it was and fun
You're bad for me and now I'm done
Finally have the strength to run
From temptation
From temptation
I wanna drop this weight
So I can elevate
I wanna let you go
Grab ahold of something more
Ooh, drop this weight
So I can elevate
I wanna let you go
Grab ahold of something more
You try to pull me under
I'm tellin' you it's over
This isn't what you said it was
It ain't how it was and fun
You're bad for me and now I'm done
Finally have the strength to run
From temptation
From temptation
From temptation
From temptation
