CHORUS
I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes.

You've been through love, but that love falls apart.
A little bit of heaven turns to dark.
Listen to your heart.


Everybody feels pain,
And everybody carries some scars.

The way in which we acquired our wounds can define just who we are.
Some other guys have played you,
they severely weakened your heart.

Now every time a new man comes close to you,
you put up an emotional guard.
I want to say I'm different to the all other guys but I see a flaw in that plan.

'Cause for all I know every other guys tells you the same thing just to get in your pants.
I admit that you're beautiful, but I see beauty beyond your skin.
You've got a profound attractiveness that transcends the body that you're in

It's gonna be an uphill battle girl, proving that I want to stick around.
It feels so steep that I'm at risk of falling off, and tumbling to the ground.
But if I am slipping and falling, could it be said that I'm falling for you?

I hope you take that as some proof that my intentions are true.

CHORUS

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes.
You've been through love, but that love falls apart.

A little bit of heaven turns to dark.
Listen to your heart.


It hurts so much that I can't have your trust 'cause of what some $$#hole did in the past.
I see some glimpses of your love for me but then you cover them up so fast.
You're everything that I've been looking for, you're perfect in every way.

Except for the fact that you draw me in so close, then briskly push me away.
A heart can only break so many times, before repair becomes obsolete.
And with the way that you break my heart every day, that problem will soon affect me.

Maybe that's what happened to you,
And now you're passing on the disease.
And I will pass it on to the very next girl who opens up to me.

But I'm going to do all I can to reverse this domino effect.
I will do the impossible and rebuild your heart, then make sure it stays intact.
But for me to pull off this surgery and improve your life for the best,

you've got to pull down that defensive wall and give me access to your chest.

CHORUS

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes.
You've been through love, but that love falls apart.

A little bit of heaven turns to dark.
Listen to your heart.


Maybe I should write up a list of the reasons I love you.
Maybe I could put it all into a song, how would that be for proof?
Every single lyric that I spit, would be the super glue,

that I would use to put your heart back together, so our love has a chance to bloom.
