Only Love (feat. Nate Ruess)

Please keep your distance from me,

I know its hard to believe,

I never wanted to be,

Your only love

I know the sting of pride hurts,

It only makes matters worse,

I never said I would be,

Your only love

Old ships, battle scars,

Silhouettes and skeletons,

The news is on once the clouds are gone,

These are the things that I am not.

Old news, heaven sent,

If heaven wasn't what it is

If all the stars fell from the storm,

Then this is what I've become

I need a new relief,

Dressed as a new belief and then

I could try to be anything or anyone other than

Who I was...

We never hear the dawn,

you wake your roommate up,

So I'm between the sheets,

Wishing for anyone other than us

Please keep your distance from me,

I know its hard to believe,

I never wanted to be,

Your only love

I know the sting of pride hurts,

It only makes matters worse,

I never said I would be,

Your only love

Long walks, phones that die,

Summer in the dead of night.

Some would say our heads are gone,

These are the things we never was.

Long cries, no response,

Silhouettes from all my bones,

Still we keep our heads on wrong,

'Cause these are the things we never was.

I need a new relief

Disguise a new belief, and then,

I could try to be anything or anyone other than

Who I was.

And I would let you sing,

Between your mother's sheets,

And I will slip through the crack of the records that stack;

Your bedroom walls.

Please keep your distance from me,

I know its hard to believe,

I never wanted to be,

Your only love

I know the sting of pride hurts,

It only makes matters worse,

I never said I would be,

Your only love

Please keep your distance from me,

I know its hard to believe,

I never wanted to be,

Your only love

I know the sting of pride hurts,

It only makes matters worse,

I never said I would be,

Your only love

Please keep your distance from me,

I know its hard to believe,

I never wanted to be,

Your only love

I know the sting of pride hurts,

It only makes matters worse,

I never said I would be,

Your only love

We need no proper ending that would mean this meant something...
