[Verse] I can already hear tomorrow judging me For every little thing I'm about to let myself believe There's a perfectly sensible voice inside my head Telling me to leave before I lose my sense She's probably right, and I know it She's got a point, I just don't want to show it I've always been so good at knowing when to quit So why do I keep quitting the quit? (yeah) [Pre-Chorus] I've got the exit strategy memorized Three good reasons waiting in the back of my mind I could make a clean escape and call it wise But something tells me I'd regret being right [Chorus] I know I should behave better Keep my hands to myself, know better Turn around before I cross that line But your invitation looks too good to decline (too good) I know I should behave better I know I should behave better I know there's a smarter way to handle this I could walk away and leave it all untouched But somehow walking out feels like the bigger risk I know I should behave better But I'm still right here Should I, should I Walk away, walk away That's what the sensible part of me would say I should, I should But I won't, I won't I know I should behave better (no, no) [Verse] I've been pretending this doesn't affect me And I'm discovering exactly what you do You don't have to touch me, you don't have to try There's a dangerous conversation happening in your eyes I used to think temptation needed something sweet Now I know it can be standing six inches from me You ask if I'm alright, I laugh and say I'm fine While every little word of yours is changing my mind [Pre-Chorus] I could still pretend this isn't what it seems Put some distance between reality and dreams But you're making innocence impossible And somehow turning back no longer feels logical [Chorus] I know I should behave better Stop pretending I can stay untouched forever Let the sensible part of me disappear Suddenly the things I shouldn't say sound sincere I know I should behave better I know I should behave better Every good intention is getting harder to defend I've already talked myself out of turning back And I don't think I'm interested in starting again I know I should behave better But I'm past pretending (past pretending) Could I, could I Play it safe, play it safe That's what I would've done before today I could, I could But I don't, I don't I know exactly what I shouldn't do I know I should behave better (but I won't) [Verse] There's a point where wanting stops asking permission Where every little doubt becomes a distant superstition I see the question waiting underneath your grin And for once I don't feel like wondering what if So don't give me that look unless you mean it Don't make a promise unless you're willing to keep it I've spent enough time pretending I don't know Exactly where this kind of chemistry could go [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I'll call this a mistake Maybe I'll laugh at the choices I made Maybe I'll wish I'd been harder to tempt But there's no virtue in regret before the moment has even been spent So let the morning judge me when it comes Let the daylight ask me what I've done Right now there's only one thing I can say I'm done trying to get out of my own way (that's it) I've stopped rehearsing all the ways I could explain this No more dressing up my weakness as a lesson If I'm going to cross that line tonight I'm going to do it with my eyes open wide [Final-Chorus] I know I should behave better But I've never wanted anything more than ever I've got no argument I haven't heard before If you're asking me to stay, you won't hear me say goodbye I know I should behave better I know exactly what I should do I just don't want to (don't want to) I know I should behave better But maybe better isn't what I need right now I've spent too long deciding what I'm allowed And every rule I ever followed somehow Has brought me back to where I'm standing now I know I should behave better I know exactly what I should do I just don't want to I just don't want to I know I should behave better [Outro] Maybe I'm reckless Maybe you're worse Maybe this was always going to happen first No, I won't explain it No, I won't defend Some things are better when you don't pretend I know I should behave better... Should behave better... Maybe I should... (don't want to) Maybe I won't... I know I should behave better...
