Don't put your cover up You know it's bad for your health And when the going's tough You're way too hard on yourself I wish you'd open up And I'd lend a little to help Before you dive off the deep end Will you hold me Like you want me? But you don't give me nothing else Feel this happening But you feel absent Can you tell me what it is? And she said this "Haven't you ever been in love before?" You heard 'em say, "It takes the pain away" And it's a feeling that you can't ignore But it's more like a knife to me Than a high to me And my heart can't fall apart anymore If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified Haven't you ever been in love before? If we don't work it out That's something I could accept But I feel you're ruling out A love that ain't happened yet And maybe I'm a fool But I just can't live with regret I'd rather dive off the deep end Will you hold me Like you want me? But you don't give me nothing else Feel this happening But you feel absent Can you tell me what it is? And she said this "Haven't you ever been in love before?" You heard 'em say, "It takes the pain away" And it's a feeling that you can't ignore But it's more like a knife to me Than a high to me And my heart can't fall apart anymore If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified Haven't you ever been in love before? Well, we could be falling Falling There's nothing I want more than all that you got 'Cause I'm falling And she said this "Haven't you ever been in love before?" You heard 'em say, "It takes the pain away" And it's a feeling that you can't ignore But it's more like a knife to me Than a high to me And my heart can't fall apart anymore If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified Haven't you ever been in love before?
