Lyrics
If love is overrated
Let me be the one that is naive
If love is overrated
Let me be the one that is deceived
Let me find that your hands that are touching me
Is not the hand that's supposed to be
Your lips, an illusion
Let me be the only fool for your embrace
Let me fall upon my face
I like this strange illusion
If love is overrated
Why is it the only thing I serve?
If love is overrated
Why is the one I'm in the one that I deserve?
I can tell you, oh, it feels so real
Every touch that I steal
Your arms, an illusion
Let me be the only fool for your embrace
Let me fall upon my face
I like this strange illusion
Whoa, I'm okay
With love's never-ending dream
It's a risk I like to take
In the hope I never wake
From this thing I call my fake reality
If love is overrated
Let me be the one that is naive
If love is overrated
Let me be the one that is deceived
Let me find that your hands that are touching me
Is not the hand that's supposed to be
Your lips, an illusion
Let me be the only fool that you embrace
Let me fall upon my face
I like this strange illusion
And whoa, I'm okay
Love's never-ending dream
That's a risk I like to take
In the hopes I'll never wake
From this thing I call my fake reality
If love is overrated
I like overrated
If love is overrated
I love overrated
If love is overrated
I am obsessed with overrated
If love is overrated
I'm in love with overrated
Overrated
