lyrics

i don't mean to be so holding on
but for a second before you're gone
i need to know if i was wrong
but i may not be that strong
but i don't mean to be a boa constrictor
but i don't mean to be a boa constrictor

i don't mean to be so holding tight
but for a minute in my life
i'd like to know if i'm alright
if i am the flame that you ignite
but i don't mean to be a boa constrictor
but i don't mean to be a boa constrictor

i don't mean to be so clinging to
but i don't know what to do
i am a virus, i am glue
i am the one you'd never choose
but i don't mean to be a boa constrictor
but i don't mean to be a boa constrictor
