Paroles de la chanson

I can just hear them now

"How could you let us down?"

But they don't know what I felt

Or see it from this way around

Feeling it overtake

All that I used to hate

Wonder what if we trade

I tried but it's way too late

All the slides I don't read

Two sides of me can't agree

When I breathe in too deep

Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I don't care I'm in love

(Stop before it's too late)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I finally know what is love

(You don't have what it takes)

(Stop while it's not too late)

(I know there's too much at stake)

(Making the same mistakes)

And I still don't know why it's happening

(Stop before it's too late)

And I still don't know

Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

On this side of the rut

I'm thinking like what

I'm thinking it's worth the fight

Soon to be out of sight

Moving it out this time

Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I don't care I'm in love

(Stop before it's too late)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I finally know what is love

(You don't have what it takes)

(Stop before it's too late)

Man, I know that it's hard to digest

But baby this love is so different from the rest

And I know it seems hard to accept

But you've got to do it, and she's got her regrets

And I know that it's hard to digest

I really know this shit is as good as it gets

And I know it seems hard to accept

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand new person

So happy to know that it's right

In a new direction

So happy to know I've come to fall

Stop thinking that the only option was

Feel like a brand new person

I finally know what it's like

Stop thinking that the only option was

So happy to know I've come to fall

Stop thinking that the only option was

And I know it's hard to describe

Stop thinking that the only option was

So happy to know that it's right
