goner

I just can't trust this feeling 

that I get when we're alone 

one look from those green eyes

I'm a goner don't you know 

you're turning away from me 

ignoring this chemistry 

this thing that we each know 

is a lot stronger than us both

I can't trust one little hug 

not even one chaste kiss 

don't get to close to me darlin'

I can't trust myself like this 

so baby, send me a message 

or you can call me on the phone 

but keep your distance sweetheart 

we can't be trusted alone
