[Verse 1]
I'm only lost if you don't look for me
I'm trying to fall without a sound
I'm not afraid to wander endlessly
I just don't know how to be found
[Pre-Chorus]
Put your life on it
I'll put my life on it
Just don't believe all you can see
And all the loss that I could not forget
Has just got way too real for me
[Chorus]
Why does your love feel like heartbreak?
Why does your love finish every thought I have?
Every song sounds like an earthquake
Every word cuts through this endless forest like a path

'Cause when I do, I have to choose
[Pre-Chorus]
Put some heart in

So this is what it is to love someone
You wear your heart up on their sleeve
[Chorus]
Why does your love feel like heartbreak?
Why does your love finish every thought I have?
Every song sounds like an earthquake
Every word cuts through this endless forest like a path
Yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Why does your love feel like heartbreak?
Why does your love finish every thought I have?
Every song sounds like an earthquake
Every word cuts through this endless forest like a path
Yeah
