lyrics

Love is tumble, falter, regret, hurt
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Battles won, lost wars, scars
Repeat, repeat, repeat

And all chances of becoming the wiser
For your crashes and burns
Vanish with every last drop
And the sound of a crack in the dam

We never, never learn
We never, never learn

I love you, I love you
I love you and I just can’t let go of you
I love you, I love you
I love you and I want you to know it

I love you, I love you
I love you and I just can’t let go
I love you, I love you
I love you and I want you to know

Love is the eye in a storm, order in madness
Repeat, repeat, repeat
In a fog a lighthouse, a sanctuary
Repeat, repeat, repeat

And all chances of becoming the wiser
For your crashes and burns
Seem all too useless in the face of attainable bliss

We never, never learn
I’m glad we never learn

For there are words I’d never utter again
There’s a feeling I could never give again
So history repeats itself
Until the chain is broken
