Lyrics

Thank you for choosing to come and listen to such depressing music on a Saturday night
There's plenty more on the album, don't worry
Love, I have wounds
Only you can mend, you can mend, oh-oh, oh
I guess that's love
I can't pretend, I can't pretend, oh-oh, oh
Feel, my skin is rough
It can be cleansed, it can be cleansed, oh-oh, oh
My arms are tough
But they can be bent, they can be bent, oh-o
And I wanna fight
I can't contend
I guess that's love
I can't pretend, I can't pretend
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
Oh, feel our bodies grow
And our souls, they blend
Oh, love, I hope you know
How much my heart depends
I guess that's love
I can't pretend, I can't pretend, oh-oh
I guess that's love
I can't pretend, I can't pretend
Oh, feel our bodies grow
And our souls, they blend
Oh, love, I hope you know
How much my heart depends
I guess that's love
I can't pretend, I can't pretend, oh-oh, oh
I guess that's love
I can't pretend
(I wanna hear that one more time)
Oh, feel our bodies grow
And our souls, they blend
Oh, love, I hope you know
How much my heart depends
I guess that's love
I can't pretend, I can't pretend, oh-oh, oh
