VERSE 1
The downside of real love
is real pain
it feels the same.
It hits your body
circles round
then confounds the brain.
It makes your mind begin to spin
once you let it in.
Ain't no use tellin to your heart
"Stop" or "Start"
There's no real way to win.
CHORUS
And everytime you think the situation's in control
Believe that love is building bridges, really on a roll.
Just when you're sure that it's secure, give your heart and soul
It takes a tragic toll.
Love leaves a heart-shaped hole.
VERSE 2
The downside of reality,
normality
Is such a bore.
Imagination's
realization
shocks you to the core.
And nothin' ever is the same
once you've played the game.
Next thing you're findin' all your days
set ablaze
by some internal flame.
CHORUS
And everytime you think you got this "love thing" figured out
Believe in both of you together, well beyond a doubt.
Just when you're sure that it's secure to give your heart and soul
It takes a tragic toll.
Love leaves a heart-shaped hole.
BRIDGE
There ain't no difference when you got it
when you go without.
If you learn nothin
when you know what it is all about.
If you see clearly, sincerely
the safest route.
Jus' gotta work it out.
ENDING VERSE/CHORUS
Because the downside of real love
is real pain
it feels the same.
Ignites your soul
takes control
plays a guessing game.
Decides the difference, the distance
from feeling full.
Then leaves a heart-shaped hole.
Love leaves a heart-shaped hole.
Love leaves a heart-shaped hole.
Love leaves a heart-shaped hole.
