Lyrics

I know I can’t take one more step towards you,

’cause all that’s wait ing is re gret.

And don’t you know I’m not your ghost an y more,

you lost the love I loved the most.

I learned to live

half a live,

and now you want me one more time.

And who do you think you are,

run ning ’round leav ing scars, col lect ing your jar of hearts

and tear ing love a part?

You’re gon na catch a cold from the ice in side your soul.

So don’t come back for me.

Who do you think you are?

I hear you’re ask ing all a round

if I am an y where to be found.

But I have grown too strong

to ev er fall back in your arms.

And it took so long just to feel al right, re mem ber how to put back the light in my eyes.

I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed ’cause you broke all your prom is es.

And now you’re back,

you don’t get to get me back.

And who do you think you are,

run ning ’round leav ing scars, col lect ing your jar of hearts

and tear ing love a part?

You’re gon na catch a cold from the ice in side your soul.

So don’t come back for me,

don’t come back at all.

And who do you think you are,

run ning ’round leav ing scars, col lect ing your jar of hearts,

tear ing love a part?

You’re gon na catch a cold from the ice in side your soul.

Don’t come back for me,

don’t come back at all.

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?
