lyrics

I knew better than to run with matches
And I knew better than to play with scissors
Then you came along, you were some sort of mutant match/scissor hybrid,
And we ran and we played, it was a bad idea

All I ever wanted to do was reflect your light
And to do that I had to get a little closer to you
But when I did, I fell into your orbit
And then I was trapped, there was nothing for it

And maybe the reason that I fall in love so easy is because
I hate myself
And when it’s like that you just have to find someone who loves you
Who doesn’t have to, unlike your parents, yeah they totally have to
Someone who loves you
Who doesn’t have to

They say not to stare directly at the sun
Not because you’ll go blind but because you won’t be able to look away
You were so perfect -- I couldn’t look away
And I was a trainwreck -- you couldn’t look away

And maybe the reason that I fall in love so easy is because
I hate myself
And when it’s like that you just have to find someone who loves you
Who doesn’t have to, unlike your parents, yeah they totally have to
Someone who loves you
Who doesn’t have to

And sometimes it just feels like
I get in my own way
Like instead of gravity
I’m pushing you away
There’s always something
Something else
It was a total
Eclipse
Of my heart

[WICKED GUITAR SOLO]

And maybe the reason that I fall in love so easy is because
I hate myself
And when it’s like that you just have to find someone who loves you
Who doesn’t have to, unlike your parents, yeah they totally have to
Someone who loves you
Who doesn’t
