How do you know what is true
And what is false?

Somehow, I know the way out of my heart, but I’m not going to leave. After one choice, I find myself lost again. The more I try to distance myself, the closer you come. What should I do?

I’m a sucker for love. You’re both familiar and unfamiliar to me. Baby, you’re so dangerous. There’s a clear warning, but no.
