[Verse 1]
My heartbeat's moving in speed
Just like lightning
Crushing like waves in the night sea
Seeing you play with my mind
And I know that our memories
Burn to the ground with our old dreams
Gave it away, no apologies
Look what we've done to us
[Chorus]
We could have had more than this
Had a house and a kid
But it's gone, it's gone
I could have hurt you like this
But I saved it and wrote you a song
I'm strong
Oh, it's a thing we call love
Asking God from above
What have I ever done?
[Verse 2]
Daydream, stuck in my mind
Thinking that it may be
You and I are better off and crazy
Blossoming like daisies
[Chorus]
We could have had more than this
Had a house and a kid
But it's gone, it's gone
I could have hurt you like this
But I saved it and wrote you a song
I'm strong
Oh, it's a thing we call love
Asking God from above
What have I ever done?
[Bridge]
Oh, it's a thing we call love
Asking God from above
What have I ever done, done to deserve this?
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
To deserve this?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
To deserve this?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
To deserve this?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
