Lyrics

I thought I'd be the architect
And lay out all my plans
To see them end up crumbling
Like castles made of sand
Knowing, it's only love, but it
Yeah, it tears me apart
I thought I'd build a rocket ship
And make my way to Mars
Get caught up in the atmosphere
And never get that far
No, it's only love, but it
Yeah, it tears me apart
And I can say right from the start
I never thought it would be this hard
It's not a thing to guard against
To keep defenses up
But when I drop my armour down
I always come unstuck
Singing, it's only love, but it
Yeah, it tears me apart
And I can say, this is the part
Where everyone I know has played their cards
I can say, right from the start
I never thought it would be this hard
Never thought it would be this hard
(Never thought it would be this, be this)
(Never thought it would be this, be this)
(Never thought it would be this, be this)
I thought I'd win the lottery
And leave it down to luck
But nothing ever comes for free
And hoping's not enough
Yeah, I can say, this is the part
Where everyone I know has played their cards
I can say, right from the start
I never thought it would be this hard
Never thought it would be this hard
