With me Feels strange like a foreign thing I'm still waiting for the love to kick in Sometimes when I watch you sleeping I keep heading to check you're breathing It's not fair, not your fault, not at all Not at all Oh, once bitten, twice shy I try and I try, I try 'Cause I'm holding on to nothing I'm holding on to nothing Once bitten, twice shy I can't seem to find the strength What's the point in keeping you at arm's length? I wanna love you, but I can't imagine What I'd do if the worst did happen Can you guarantee that you'll stay here with me? With me Oh, once bitten, twice shy I try and I try, I try 'Cause I'm holding on to nothing I'm holding on to nothing Once bitten, twice shy Well, I've been there before No, I won't go back Couldn't take anymore I'm not going back Going back, going back Oh, once bitten, twice shy I try and I try, I try 'Cause I'm holding on to nothing I'm holding on to nothing Once bitten, twice shy Once bitten, twice shy
