Ooh, you're searching for something I know, won't make you happy
Ooh, you're thirsting for something I know, won't make you happy
Ooh, you did it all again, you broke another skin
It's hard to believe this time, hard to believe
That my heart, my heart's an open door
You got all you came for, baby

So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride's worth
Is bigger than the pain you got for it hurts
And out runs all of the sadness
It's terrifying, life, through the darkness

And I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again
You try sometimes but it won't stop

You got my heart and my head's lost, ooh yeah
I've been burning down these candles for love, for love
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride
Ooh, someone to love, mm, someone to love
Someone to love

Ooh, you're searching for something I know,
Won't make you happy
Ooh
