Because the words 'I love you' were such a cliché
You never sat down what a mistake, baby, baby
One foot on the gas, one foot on the brakes
We’re getting nowhere at a furious pace, baby, baby

Don't say it's too real
Don't say it's too real
To be loved
Why don't you let yourself feel?
Why don't you let yourself feel?
What it's like to be loved
Everyone feels unprepared
Everyone's just a little bit scared of love

I’m always so sorry, you're always so hurt
You're always so faithful, I'm a flake and a flirt, baby, baby
And the worst thing about you is you're so great
I'm the fool that loves you, you're the fool that hesitates, baby, baby

Don't say it's too real
Don't say it's too real
To be loved
Why don't you let yourself feel?
Why don't you let yourself feel?
What it's like to be loved
Everyone feels unprepared
Everyone's just a little bit scared of love

The window's open but the curtain is closed
I'm here naked and you're fully clothed
The window's open but the curtain is closed
I'm here naked and you're fully clothed

Don't say it's too real
Don't say it's too real
To be loved
Why don't you let yourself feel?
Why don't you let yourself feel?
What it's like to be loved
Everyone feels unprepared
Everyone's just a little bit scared of love
Everyone's just a little bit scared of love

Everyone feels unprepared
Everyone's just a little bit scared of love
