Mortal

The first time I knew I was mortal

Was when you touched my body

And whispered, "Hold me close"

'Cause I knew solely in that moment

The only thing I wanted

Was what I feared the most

But I've loved everything I'm scared of

Ever since I remember

I don't know what that means

So come on, terrify me, baby

And every fiber in me, will bring me to my knees

I didn't write the rule

But you're no exception

Baby, do you know what you started?

I never stood a chance, did I, darling?

If you like the way that my heart is

I'd give it to you forever

Don't you know I quiver before you?

I think I was born to adore you

Pretty little thing with a warning

The brother of love is terror

The last time that I felt devotion

I let it consume me

Until I couldn't move

But this time, I think my emotions

Are flowing clearly through me

And latching onto you

I didn't write the rule

But you're no exception

Baby, do you know what you started?

I never stood a chance did I, darling?

If you like the way that my heart is

I'd give it to you forever

Don't you know I quiver before you?

I think I was born to adore you

Pretty little thing with a warning

The brother of love is terror

Baby, do you know what you started?

I never stood a chance did I, darling?

If you like the way that my heart is

I'd give it to you forever

Don't you know I quiver before you?

I think I was born to adore you

Pretty little thing with a warning

The brother of love is terror
