Mystery Jets - Alice Springs lyrics

Freedom is an illusion generated by your brain Too delicate for words to ever explain And love is a taste you get on the tip of your tongue Better to have loved and lost than to have lived and never loved anyone I'd stand in the line of fire for you I'd bend over backwards for you I'd do anything that you want me to do 'Cause I don't have nothing if I don't have you in my life And it hurts 'cause it's true Pain is what keeps your eyes from closing as the night falls It eats you in your sleep and wakes you when it gets light And sadness is like a wave that sweeps you off your feet With tears that cut like knives as they're running like rivers down your cheeks I'd stand in the line of fire for you I'd bend over backwards for you I'd do anything that you want me to do 'Cause I don't have nothing if I don't have you in my life And you have to believe me 'cause it's true I'd bend over backwards for you I'd do anything that you want me to do 'Cause I don't have nothing if I don't have you, my love And it only hurts because it's true Yeah, it only hurts because it's true Yeah, it only hurts because it's true Freedom is an illusion generated by your brain Too delicate for words to ever explain And love is a taste you get on the tip of your tongue Better to have loved and lost than to have lived and never loved anyone And it only hurts, it only hurts 'cause it's true
