Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget, just to feel worse
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away
[Verse 2]
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
[Verse 3]
I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner, but when I'm with you, I couldn't care less
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away with it all my life
Getting away
[Verse 4]
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
More than you love me
[Verse 5]
I thought I gave up falling in love a long, long time ago
I guess I like it, but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know
And it's been true all my life
Yes, it's been true all my life
[Verse 6]
I been talking to myself just to suggest that I'm selfish
(Getting away)
I been trying to impress that more is less and I'm repressed
(I should do anything)
[Verse 7]
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
[Verse 8]
Get away with it
Get away with it
