The Catch

I'ma pick a fight tonight

So maybe when we say goodbye, it won't hurt

I'll yell until my throat is dry

Tell you I don't care 'til I believe the words

'Cause, baby, it always starts like a movie

They call me their American beauty queen

Like I'm their dream

But dreams never seem to last past the morning

'Cause they always leave without any warning signs

But not this time

So what's the catch?

Thought by now you'd be gone

I never had something permanent

But it's like you were born to prove me wrong

'Cause now we're still going strong

And I was scared I'd get burned by this

But this time, I'm proven wrong

I'm used to hearing half the truth

Decoding all the power moves from games they play

So when you said you'd see this through

I guess that I had just assumed the words were fake

'Cause, baby, it always ends like a sad song

They say they'll stay, but they always pass on by

But not this time

So what's the catch?

Thought by now you'd be gone

I never had something permanent

But it's like you were born to prove me wrong

'Cause now we're still going strong

And I was scared I'd get burned by this

But this time, I'm proven wrong

So what's the catch? (So what's the catch?)

So what's the catch? (So what's the catch?)

Mm-mm

So maybe this time the movie won't end, and

I'll write you songs, but they won't be sad, and

When I wake up, the dream will keep lasting on

'Cause I'm ready to be wrong

What's the catch?

Thought by now you'd be gone

I never had something permanent

But it's like you were born to prove me wrong

And now I know all along

I was someone who deserves all this

Oh, my love, you proved me wrong

So what's the catch? (So what's the catch?)

So what's the catch? (So what's the catch?)

Ooh-ooh-ooh

What's the catch?
