No, don't love me, just not yet
It's a weight I cannot bear
Your heart, your so enlightened heart

See, there's still some dark in me
And I guess there'll always be
A door with no more matching key

So go ahead and save yourself from me
For I'm a bomb
I'm a timing bomb and I'm ticking
I say I'm a mess
You say "beautiful mess" and I'm thinking
Should I let you in?

Go, there's so much you don't know
A part I've never shown
Secrets hidden deep down my soul

But, hey, you did your very best
To rip this off my chest
Things just happened too fast

So go ahead and save yourself from me
For I'm a bomb
I'm a timing bomb and I'm ticking
I say I'm a mess
You say "beautiful mess" and I'm thinking
Should I let you in?

I just don't want to hurt you
I just don't want to hurt
I just don't want to hurt you
I just don't want to hurt

So go ahead and save yourself from me
For I'm a bomb
I'm a timing bomb and I'm ticking
I say I'm a mess
You say "beautiful mess" and I'm thinking
I just don't want to hurt
