[Verse 1: Bernard Sumner]
I've been walking in the rain
Just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget
Just to feel worse
[Pre-Chorus: Bernard Sumner and Neil Tennant]
I've been getting away with it all my life
(Getting away)
[Chorus: Bernard Sumner and Neil Tennant]
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
[Verse 2: Bernard Sumner]
I hate that mirror
It makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner, but when I'm with you
I couldn't care less
[Pre-Chorus: Bernard Sumner and Neil Tennant]
I've been getting away with it all my life
(Getting away with it)
Getting away with it all my life
(Getting away)
[Chorus: Bernard Sumner and Neil Tennant]
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
More than you love me
[Bridge: Bernard Sumner and Neil Tennant]
I thought I gave up falling in love
A long, long time ago
I guess I like it, but I can't tell you
You shouldn't really know
And it's been true
All my life
Yes, it's been true
All my life
[Verse 3: Bernard Sumner and Neil Tennant]
I've been talking to myself
Just to suggest that I'm selfish
(Getting ahead)
I've been trying to impress
That more is less and I'm repressed
(I should do what he said)
[Chorus: Bernard Sumner and Neil Tennant]
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
