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 baby, I don’t mind
Feeling like I’m bound to fall
Close my eyes
Baby, I would risk it all, yeah
Sometimes it’s tragic, so problematic
People are crying for it
People are dying for it
Always the reason we still believe in
Something that leaves us hurting
It’s worth it, I don’t mind
Feeling like I’m bound to fall
Close my eyes
Baby, I would risk it all
Just to be in love
I just wanna be in love
Be in love
I don’t mind
Feeling like I’m bound to fall
Baby, I close my eyes
Baby, I would risk it all
I don’t mind
Feeling like I’m bound to fall
Close my eyes
Baby, I would risk it all
Oh, just to be in love
Be in love
