Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you were the Mona Lisa
You'd be hanging in the Louvre
Everyone would come to see you
You'd be impossible to move
[Verse 2]
It seems to me
Is what you are
A rare and priceless work of art
You stay behind
Your velvet rope
But I will not renounce all hope
[Verse 3]
And I'm
Right by your side
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece
And I
Can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
'Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible
[Verse 4]
From the moment I first saw you
All the darkness turned to white
An impressionistic painting
Tiny particles of light
[Verse 5]
It seems to me
It's what you're like
The look but please don't touch me type
And honestly
It can't be fun
To always be the chosen one
[Verse 6]
And I'm
Right by your side
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece
And I
Can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
'Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible
[Verse 7]
And I'm
Right by your side
Like a thief in the night
Stand in front of a masterpiece
And I
Can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
[Verse 8]
And I'm
Right by your side
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece
And I
Can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
'Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible
'Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible
