lyrics

I always thought that love was a paradise,
the prize a hero earns through sacrifice,
a perfect compromise where
everybody wins,
where happily ever after begins,
then you came along
and crushed those fables flat;
thanks for teaching me that.

Love was supposed to be sublime,
a rollercoaster to the end of time,
love was magnets,
electricity and fire,
an everlasting flame of desire,
but that has never ever
been what real love is;
thanks for teaching me this.

And this is how we learn:
hands wring for a while,
things sting for a while,
and then you’re over it.
And this is how we learn:
get back in the game,
it’s disturbingly same,
but still you go for it.
And if it weren’t for you,
I’d still be back at step one.
So yeah thanks to you,
the worst of this is all done

I thought that love was a magic wonderland.
It took me a long, long time to understand
the heart that fills to bursting
gradually deflates,
the strongest passions evaporate.
I set my expectations
so much lower now
thanks for teaching me how.

It’s alright, I’m down,
but I’m recovering.
Thanks for teaching me everything.
