Hey, hey, hey
Where do you think you're going?
It's so late, late, late
What's wrong?
I said, "I can't stay, do I have to give a reason?
It's just me, me, me, it's what I want

So how did we get here?
Three weeks now, we've been so caught up
Better if we do this on our own

Before I love you (nah, nah, nah)
I'm gonna leave you (nah, nah, nah)
Before I'm someone you leave behind
I'll break your heart so you don't break mine
Before I love you (nah, nah, nah)
I'm gonna leave you (nah, nah, nah)
Even if I'm not here to stay
I still want your heart

Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

(Your heart for takeaway, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

Fate, fate, fate
Is that what came between us?
Or did we do this on our own?

So how did we get here?
I'm asking myself why I'm so caught up
Better if we do this on our own

Before I love you (nah, nah, nah)
I'm gonna leave you (nah, nah, nah)
Before I'm someone you leave behind
I'll break your heart so you don't break mine
Before I love you (nah, nah, nah)
I'm gonna leave you (nah, nah, nah)
Even if I'm not here to stay
I still want your heart

Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Your heart for takeaway

Before I love you (nah, nah, nah)
I'm gonna leave you (nah, nah, nah)
Before I'm someone you leave behind
I'll break your heart so you don't break mine
Before I love you (nah, nah, nah)
I'm gonna leave you (nah, nah, nah)
Even if I'm not here to stay
I still want your heart
