chorus:
(repeat last 4 bars)
and I gave the girl my body, but it
still was not enough, because time
is an investment and you
can’t compete with love

but twice will break your heart
intro again (x2)
Verse 3 (same as verse 2)
the moment when the news broke came as hardly a surprise,
for while we all know love lies bleeding yeah it rarely ever dies
oh and romance wasn’t really dead, it merely closed it eyes,
whether wrong or right, you don’t give up the fighting
and the fortitude, the anger and the attitude
the lives we lead without regret and love annulled my fear of death
chorus - same apart from the last line:
