lyrics

Like The Rest
Eli Pafumi

Gone is the perfect phase
At the start it all seems okay
A spark so bright your eyes go blind
Stumbled into love in a couple days
Distracted by the tiny things
Hope to find yourself a diamond ring
Mesmerized by random eyes
Hoping love is not just a fools dream

CHORUS
We’re all anxious to find
What we can’t define
Foolishly persuaded
When our heart outweighs our mind
Easy to ignore what’s wrong
Lost in foolish sights
Oh but love’s bittersweet confliction
Never felt so right

We teach our hearts to crave those lies
The one’s our parents said they can’t describe
We’re in the dark with love’s sweet game
Dismiss the fact we still don’t realize
I’m not saying love ain’t real
But youthful whim is not the way it feels
It should ache your heart to watch them leave
Not temporary truth you keep concealed

CHORUS

I’ve noticed broken promises
I’ve seen the faults in all they’ve pledged
That’s not to say this can’t exist
When you I can’t be like all the rest

CHORUS
