[Verse 1]
I couldn't make you grab the rope
Despite my invitations
Every smile, a smell of hope
I've been waiting for so long

[Pre-Chorus}
I have feelings for you
You say: It better be true

[Chorus]
Tell me again how this works
I'm in love but it hurts
Hearts can be broken but this is absurd
I'm getting crushed by the weight of your words
Tell me again what you feel
I can't believe this is real
Hearts can be broken but this is absurd
I'm getting crushed by the weight of your words

[Verse 2]
I am fragile, you are strong
This is hard to process
I've been empty for so long
You fill me up with every word

[Pre-Chorus}
And I have feelings for you
You say out of the blue:

[Chorus]
Tell me again how this works
I'm in love but it hurts
Hearts can be broken but this is absurd
I'm getting crushed by the weight of your words
Tell me again what you feel
I can't believe this is real
Hearts can be broken but this is absurd
I'm getting crushed by the weight of your words

[Bridge]
A part of me wants to run for cover
I was safe were I used to be
This is not where we used to be
Tell me again what you feel
I can't believe this is real
Hearts can be broken but this is absurd
I'm getting crushed by the weight of your words

[Chorus]
Tell me again how this works
I'm in love but it hurts
Hearts can be broken but this is absurd
I'm getting crushed by the weight of your words
Tell me again what you feel
I can't believe this is real
Hearts can be broken but this is absurd
I'm getting crushed by the weight of your words
