this is how we fall in love.

With greedy hands, Unguarded hearts

We live life undefeated

Our diamond eyes are made of glass

But truth is never needed

From dusk to dawn we wake

We shiver and we shake

We're ill but still we call it

What we call it as we may

You thought that he was made of gold

But Midas knows the truth

That diamonds are a lie

And gold is no fountain of youth

You're young and then you waste it

Now you're old and you will die

And never tried to reach the stars

Or even touch the sky

So love notes are a waste of time

Just shout it to the sun

If you love her, tell the stars

Each and every single one

As for your stolen glances, well

I'd like to have them back

For love is not a panic

It is not a heart attack

She lit a fire in your eyes,

In your stomach,

In your brain

That smothered as it grasped your heart

That cold and bitter thing

So with empty hands and weary hearts,

We live life so defeated

And if this is how we fall in love

Then I don't think I need it.
