^HmiSo you never knew ^Alove until you crossed the line of ^Hmigrace ^HmiAnd you never felt wanted ^Atill you had someone slap your face^Hmi ^HmiSo you never felt ^Aalive until you almost wasted ^Hmiaway

^HmiYou had to win, you couldn't just pass ^AThe smartest ass at the ^Emitop of the class ^HmiYour flying colours, your family tree ^AAnd all your lessons in history

^HmiPlease Please Please ^Aget up off your knees Please, please, please, leave me out of this

And you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call And you never knew what was on the ground Till they made you crawl So you never knew that that the heaven you keep you stole Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making news Your holy war, your northern star Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car Please, please, please get up off your knees Please, please, please leave me out of this please

So ^Hmilove is hard, and ^Alove is ^Hmitough But ^Hmilove is ^Anot what you're ^Emithinking ^Hmiof

^HmiSeptember, streets capsizing,^A ^ASpilling over down the ^Hmidrain ^HmiShards of glass splinters ^Alike rain ^ABut you could only feel ^Hmiyour pain ^HmiOctober, talking getting ^Anowhere ^ANovember, December, remember ^HmiAre we just starting again?

Please, please, please get up off of your knees Please, please, please, please So love is bigger than us But love is not what you're thinking of It's what lovers deal, it's what lovers steal You know I've found it hard to receive Cause you, my love, I could never believe
