Thought I was smarter than this 00:12
Thought by the second time around I'd have this love thing down 00:17
Or at least some common sense 00:23
It's funny how four letters can dismiss all of your rational 00:26
But I just can't break the pattern 00:31
I'm addicted with no way to quit 00:36
I'm holding on to all of your shattered 00:38
Thought I was smarter than this 00:42
You break my heart so bad 00:43
You make me ugly cry 00:45
You make me so damn sad 00:47
Then you apologize 00:49
And I'll say it's fine and play it off all cool 00:51
Ignore the warning signs 00:55
It's funny how love fools me into thinking that 00:57
It's gonna be okay 01:40
It's really not that bad 01:43
It's only just a phase that we're working through 01:46
But here's the honest truth 01:49
Oh love always fools me into love fools like you 01:52
I see the best in the worst 01:55
And think that if I try to fix you maybe then we could work 01:59
But that's how it tricks you, damn, it's like a curse 02:06
It pulls you in and makes you feel like you'll never hurt 02:10
If nothing can break this pattern 02:11
Then I'm hopelessly falling in 02:16
You break my heart so bad 02:16
You make me ugly cry 02:17
You make me so damn sad 02:19
Then you apologize 02:22
And I'll say it's fine and play it off all cool 02:24
Ignore the warning signs 02:26
It's funny how love fools me into thinking that 02:27
It's gonna be okay 03:18
It's really not that bad 03:20
It's only just a phase that we're working through 03:23
But here's the honest truth 03:26
Oh love always fools me into love fools like you 03:29
You say you love me like you mean it 03:30
Only when it feels convenient 03:31
I got a million different reasons to leave it 03:32
To leave it all 03:34
You break my heart so bad 03:42
You make me ugly cry 03:44
You make me so damn sad 03:44
Then you apologize 03:48
And I'll say it's fine and play it off all cool 03:50
Ignore the warning signs 03:54
It's funny how love fools me into thinking that 03:56
It's gonna be okay 04:02

[English]
Thought I was smarter than this
Thought by the second time around I'd have this love thing down
Or at least some common sense
It's funny how four letters can dismiss all of your rational
But I just can't break the pattern
I'm addicted with no way to quit
I'm holding on to all of your shattered
Thought I was smarter than this
You break my heart so bad
You make me ugly cry
You make me so damn sad
Then you apologize
And I'll say it's fine and play it off all cool
Ignore the warning signs
It's funny how love fools me into thinking that
It's gonna be okay
It's really not that bad
It's only just a phase that we're working through
But here's the honest truth
Oh love always fools me into love fools like you
I see the best in the worst
And think that if I try to fix you maybe then we could work
But that's how it tricks you, damn, it's like a curse
It pulls you in and makes you feel like you'll never hurt
If nothing can break this pattern
Then I'm hopelessly falling in
You break my heart so bad
You make me ugly cry
You make me so damn sad
Then you apologize
And I'll say it's fine and play it off all cool
Ignore the warning signs
It's funny how love fools me into thinking that
It's gonna be okay
It's really not that bad
It's only just a phase that we're working through
But here's the honest truth
Oh love always fools me into love fools like you
You say you love me like you mean it
Only when it feels convenient
I got a million different reasons to leave it
To leave it all
You break my heart so bad
You make me ugly cry
You make me so damn sad
Then you apologize
And I'll say it's fine and play it off all cool
Ignore the warning signs
It's funny how love fools me into thinking that
It's gonna be okay
It's really not that bad
It's only just a phase that we're working through
But here's the honest truth
Oh love always fools me into love fools like you
Like you
Like you
Love always fools me into love fools like you
