[Intro]
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
It's always beautiful until I fuck it up

[Verse 1]
Tell myself I'm safe and lonely
With nobody else to break my heart
Even though I know you'd never
I'm my own worst enemy and think you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Matches in my back pocket
I'm the queen of burnin' bridges
I will only let you down

[Chorus]
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
It's always beautiful until I fuck it up
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
The walls are closin' in because I built them up

[Verse 2]
Why can't I let myself be happy? (Ooh)
Why do I gotta get in my own way? (Ooh)
My shoes are worn out, always runnin'
From the reasons that I really wanna stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Matches in my back pocket
I'm the queen of burnin' bridges
I will only let you down

[Chorus]
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
It's always beautiful until I fuck it up
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
The walls are closin' in because I built them up

[Bridge]
So don't let me hope too high
Don't let me hope too high
'Cause I will find a way to tear it down every time
Don't let me hope too high
When everything is right
'Cause I will find a way to tear it down every time
I sabotage everything I love
It's always beautiful until I fuck it up

[Chorus]
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
It's always beautiful until I fuck it up
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
The walls are closin' in because I built them up

[Outro]
Why do I sabotage?
