Hey you, look what you do to me
You bend and you bruise me
Why you try to control me?
But you don't know me
How come you just wanna hurt me?
How come you just wanna push me?
I can't ignore you anymore
'Cause everywhere I turn you
You burn me, you break me
You always wanna take me down with you
What do you want from me?

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't wanna be evaded, it's more than I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be evaded
Just let go (look what you do to me)
Let go (look what you do to me)

Hey you, look what you do to me
You burnt and you scarred me
With all that you tell me (but I don't listen)
You love me, you hate me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't wanna be evaded, it's more than I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't wanna be evaded
Just let

You kept pushing me
You keep using me
You keep twisting me
You keep breaking me
You can't have me anymore
You can't have me anymore
You can't have me anymore
You can't have me, let go

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't wanna be evaded, it's more than I can take

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't wanna be evaded, it's more than I can take

I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't wanna be evaded
Just let go, let go, just let go
(I don't wanna be afraid)
Let go (I don't wanna run away)
Just let go, let go, let go
