I'll tell you a story
Before it tells itself
I'll lay out all my reasons
You'll say that I need help
We all got expectations
And sometimes they go wrong
But no one listens to me
So I put it in this song

They tell me think with my head
Not that thing in my chest
They got their hands at my neck this time
But you're the one that I want
If that's really so wrong
Then they don't know what this feeling is like

And I say: Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I say: Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'll tell them a story
They'll sit and nod their heads
I tell you all my secrets
And you tell all your friends
Hold on to your opinions
And stand by what you said (stand by what you said)
In the end, it's my decision
So it's my fault when it ends

They tell me think with my head
Not that thing in my chest
They got their hands at my neck this time
But you're the one that I want
And if that's really so wrong
Then they don't know what this feeling is like

And I say: Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I say: Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'll tell you a story
Before it tells itself
I'll lay out all my reasons
You'll say that I need help
We all got expectations
And sometimes they go wrong
But no one listens to me
So I put it in this song

They tell me think with my head
Not that thing in my chest
They got their hands at my neck this time
But you're the one that I want
And if that's really so wrong
Then they don't know what this feeling is like

My friends say: No, no
(But they don't know)
No, no
(Yeah, no, no)
No, no (they don't know)
No, no (no, no)

And I say: Oh, oh, oh
And I say: Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah
They don't know
