Lyrics

Some people fall in love
I’ve just been ’round the edges
I’m still not really sure
About what it is or how to get it
Is love by chance or seduction
All that I have are vague assumptions
Of what love must be like
What love must feel like
Tell me what does it look like
Is it as beautiful as you

I’ve never been in love
Does that surprise you
I find myself alone
In the times where I don’t want to be alone
It’s not that I’m scared
Of going to deep
It’s just I’m no good at pretending
Starting or ending
Caually I’m imagining
What love must be like
What love must feel like
Tell me what does it look like
Make it as beautiful as you

All you ever wanted was everything I’m not
I told you I was trouble
Now look at what we’ve got
Sometimes I wonder how it is you stay by me
’cause no one’s getting any medals here
For acts of loyalty

So I’m gonna say it
You don’t have to believe in me
You do it anyway
You’re so amazing
I’m so amazed
Sometimes my life falls into place
When you tell me you love me
I’m amazed

Even at my lowest
You don’t look down on me
And what I never thought of giving away
You give so easily

So I’m gonna say it
You don’t have to believe in me
You do it anyway
You’re so amazing
I’m so amazed
Somehow my life falls into place
When you tell me you love me
And I don’t look at the world the same
Anymore

I drank the poison
You took the pills
It didn’t get us anywhere
We called the help line
To confess our crimes
There wasn’t anybody there

Like the self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh
Like a traveler in the rain
Like a mother finally letting go
We learn to live with pain

I know why you hurt me
I know why I let you
The more you hurt me
The more I can feel you
It’s strange, so strange
This pain, this pain that I love

The fortune tellers
They forge the future
They never give you the bad news
So I went under cover
I saw your lover
But I’m still here with you

Like the self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh
Like a traveler in the rain
Like a mother finally letting go
We learn to live with pain

I know why you hurt me
I know why I let you
The more you hurt me
The more I can feel you
It’s strange, so strange
This pain, this pain that I love
That I love

I know why you hurt me
I know why I let you
The more you hurt me
The closer I get to you
It’s strange, so strange
This pain, this pain that I love
That I love

Everything I say and do and think
You seem to disagree
Admit it, babe
Everything you needed to be happy
Was a mystery
I didn’t get it babe
They say that opposites attract
I don’t know about that

I don’t wanna be the one to tell you
That you’ve lost your mind
‘Cause so have I
You don’t have to be the one
To tell me that I’m outta line
My perfect Valentine
They say that opposites attract
I’m not sure about that

One more night of shouting
One more broken glass
If we could see ourselves
Through someone else’s eyes
Even we would laugh

Maybe there’s a way we can accomplish
The impossible
You never know
All that it would take is just
An ordinary miracle
Even though
They say that sometimes you just snap
And you can never get it back
They say that opposites attract
We’ll have to see about that.
