I told the stars, I'd change my destiny
heart broken when you walked past me
And I, I knew I'd hold your hand
before you knew me
like loving an enchantress in secrecy.

You broke your heart in a different city,
and I tried to mend you without seeing.
There's something that I wanna tell you,
but what's unsaid is already known.

One of us could've left and missed somebody
fallen for the thorns, time is inviting as mystery.
There's nothing in the world
that I wouldn't break for you.
Life is only once,
and I want to ruin it by loving you.

And I, I spent my lonely nights,
admiring your wine glass body
like it's around mine,
hair til shoulders, eyes like ecstasy.
oh, I wanna know how you smell
'cause teenage love is romantic as hell.

Your shoulders are everything suddenly I need
to lean and whisper, “Shall I confess something?”
Get your heart broken anytime you wanna bleed
I'll replace yours with mine mindlessly.
'cause baby, it doesn't matter
who you loved before me.

One of us could've left and missed somebody
fallen for mistakes, time is deceiving as mystery.
There's nothing in me
that I wouldn't let go for you.
Life is only once,
and I want to ruin it by loving you.
