[Rem: Verse 1]
What I see in your eyes
Is a counterfeit emotion
Nearly true, pretty lies
Promise all you're dreaming of

Like a frog in a well
Who is sure he's in the ocean
You believe in the spell
Of this thing that you call love

[Chorus]
Try as I will, I just don't understand it
Love is for mortals and fools
Never turns out quite the way that you planned it
So why do you break all the rules?

[Verse 2: Misa]
What I feel is so real
That it sets my poor heart racing
Something you'll never know
Though you live a thousand years

[Rem]
Half a life
Is the deal to discover who you're chasing
Half a life
[Misa]
Even so, worth it all if he appears

[Rem, Misa: Chorus]
Try as you might, you will not understand it
[Rem]
Love is for mortals and fools
[Rem, Misa]
Never turns out quite the way that you planned it
[Misa]
Love makes you break all the rules

[Misa: Bridge]
Love can make you come alive

[Rem]
Or take your life away
Love should make you leave

[Misa]
But makes you stay
For love can make you happy
In a house where love is made

[Rem]
Then it makes you wary and afraid
[Rem: Chorus]
Try as I might, never will understand it
Love is for mortals and fools
Never turns out quite the way that you planned it

[Misa]
Love is for making

[Rem]
Life is for taking

[Rem, Misa]
Love makes you break all the rules
Love makes you break all the rules
