So go on
And i will refrain
And i'll keep on running this neverending race
Maybe next time will be the right time
And maybe next time will be your time
So save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
I don't think the blade will dig in
Save your strength
Save your wasted time
There's no way that i want you to be left behind
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
So why does it always seem
That every time i turn around
Somebody falls in love with me
This has never been my sole intention
And i have never claimed to have patents on such inventions
So just save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
I don't think the blade will dig in
Save your strength
Save your wasted time
There's no way that i want you to be left behind
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
There is something that i must confess to you tonight
To you tonight
And that is i expect nothing less from you tonight
From you tonight
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
Save your scissors
