Guys like me don't get a happy ending
That's something that I've always known
When you spend all your time pretending
You come to expect that you'll wind up alone
So why should this time be any different?
Finish the job and then be gone
Stay stoic, stay detached, stay indifferent
Stick to the rules that you've depended on
Don't get attached
Cut all your ties
You're no good at first impressions
But an expert at goodbyes
Don't get hung up
Don't you dare fall
Hold it in just like you've done since you were small
But I'm at the end of the line
The end of my rope
Take a look at the sign
This is a slippery slope
Don't get caught in the landslide
Don't look in his eyes
Keep your gaze trained on the prize but
I'm lagging behind
Struggling to climb
Grappling alone like a fool
But when I reach the top he's the one I'll find
He's the only one on my mind
Is that such a crime?
Don't get attached
Wall up your heart
You were a crook from the beginning
And a liar from the start
Don't get hung up
Avert your stare
Shut it down before you start to care
Don't get attached
This is the end of the line
The end of all hope
He'll never be mine
This is a slippery
Look at him smile
Look at him go
Who woulda thought
You'd get attached, Hugo?
