"Before This Even Starts" lyrics

I know how this goes
You're gonna tell me that I'm beautiful
I won't believe a word, I know
But thanks, though
You're just like the rest
You're gonna love me, then you leave me
Don't got time to build myself again
Better stay where you stand

'Cause as soon as something's going well
Gotta fuck it all up, gotta ruin it
Can't have good things
'Cause as soon as something's going well
Gotta fuck it all up, gotta ruin it
Can't have good things

I don't wanna let you in
'Cause you'll let me down, you'll be another one
Couldn't work it out
But before this even starts, I'm thinking 'bout
How you're gonna break my heart

It's all in my head
There's no other way it's going
I'm convinced that this is bound to end
Oh, it always ends

'Cause as soon as something's going well
Gotta fuck it all up, gotta ruin it
Can't have good things
'Cause as soon as something's going well
Gotta fuck it all up, gotta ruin it
Can't have good things

I don't wanna let you in
'Cause you'll let me down, you'll be another one
Couldn't work it out
But before this even starts, I'm thinking 'bout
How you're gonna break my heart

I'm waiting for the crash, ready for the fall
Saying it's different, oh, I've heard it all
But before this even starts, I'm thinking 'bout
How you're gonna break my heart
Bracing for the worst, 'cause loving you is gonna hurt
Bracing for the worst, 'cause loving you is gonna hurt

I don't wanna let you in
'Cause you'll let me down, you'll be another one
Couldn't work it out
But before this even starts, I'm thinking 'bout
How you're gonna break my heart
