I'm taking advice on love and how to make it 
And I'm trying not to break it 
Before it even starts 
My favorite distraction 
She's making failure fashion
The cameras roll, we lose control of where tonight will end 
We trade our confidences 
And lower our defenses 
But in the final scene I leave the screen to leave me wondering 

Why do I get so bored, 
Why can't I just find a love that's worth the wait 
Instead of wasting time 
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake 
And in the end I leave much more than I take 
And now I see that we can never be 
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams 
Now I learned one thing: 
That we don't believe the promises we keep (the promises we keep) 

Here's what sins are made of 
She can not be persuaded 
I missed her heart a million times 
And God knows I have tried
To shoot her with an arrow 
Of Cupids own design 
The problem is I always miss an hit a passerby

Why do I get so bored, 
Why can't I just find a love that's worth the wait 
Instead of wasting time 
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake 
And in the end I leave much more than I take 
And now I see that we can never be 
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams 
Now I learned one thing: 
That we don't believe the promises we keep 

She's so alone
She's so alone 
It's taking everything in me to leave
It's taking everything in me just to say your name
It's a constant reminder to me 
That I will never be whole again

I'm taking advice on love and how to make it (make it)
And I'm trying not to break it (break it) 
Before it even starts 

Why do I get so bored, 
Why can't I just find a love that's worth the wait 
Instead of wasting time 
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake 
And in the end I leave much more than I take 
And now I see that we can never be 
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams 
Now I learned one thing:
