Impossible People

Well, my parents raised three only children We had to set little fires for attention It was only a matter of time Til it all burned out In high school i read all the classics And the only real love ended tragic I threw rocks at her window all night She'd throw 'em back down Yeah, i keep trying to get impossible people to love me I know how it ends but i keep writing the same old story There's good in everyone i guess I lose myself in search of it I keep trying to get impossible people to love me Well, i learned to ignore all the warnings Until eggshells felt like hardwood flooring And when the power goes out I sit in the dark and i wait I guess i still think that's what love is A card game where everyone's bluffing I'd lose the shirt off my back Every cent that i have And you still can't drag me away I keep trying to get impossible people to love me I know how it ends but i keep writing the same old story There's good in everyone, i guess I lose myself in search of it I keep trying to get impossible people to love me I keep trying to get impossible people to love me I know how it ends but i keep writing the same old story You can pull the heart out of my chest I'd still believe in love, i bet I keep trying to get impossible people to love me
