Everybody's trying to mend a broken heart
Buy a little bit of love and try to start
Sew your secrets up with cotton and string
Teach each other little recipes and things to say

I'm not like that, it's not like that
I don't hurt like they do
But, oh, you like that, yes, you like that
Yes, you need somebody too

We put on Navy suits and march and keep in line
And laugh at all the silly people out of time
We count the minutes 'til we heal it with our wine
We climb in bed with pretty strangers and we cry, oh, oh, oh

I'm not like that, I'm not like that
I don't wanna hurt like they do

They find it hard to be alone
Like every one else that we know
And when our heads hurt in the dark
We look for beautiful remarks
We find it hard to be alone
Like every one else that we know
We get our heads hurt in the dark
We need some beautiful remarks
(Yes, we do)

We hang up photographs of people that we love
And when we glance at them we think, "Well that's enough"
But when our mothers call we're busy doing stuff
We'll get back to them when things start clearing up oh oh oh

I'm not like that, it's not like that
I don't hurt like they do
It's not like that, yes, it's like that
Yes, you need somebody too
You're just like that
Yeah, it's like that
Yeah, you need somebody too
Oh, you like that, yes, you like that
Yes, you need somebody too
