Lyrics:
Like a condition, like a religion
So easily mistreated
Scary decision
Sometimes it’s hell and sometimes it’s heaven
It’s overcomplicated, but darling, I don’t mind
Feeling like I’m destined to stumble
I close my eyes and I would risk everything, yeah
Sometimes it’s tragic, so troublesome
People are crying for it
People are dying for it
Always the reason we still believe in
Something that leaves us hurting
It’s worthwhile, I don’t mind
Feeling like I’m destined to stumble
I close my eyes and I would risk everything
Just to experience love
I just want to experience love
I don’t mind
Feeling like I’m destined to stumble
I close my eyes
I would risk everything
I don’t mind
Feeling like I’m destined to stumble
I close my eyes
I would risk everything
Oh, just to experience love
To experience love
