[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
