Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh
I'm so tired
Don't wanna feel it
No, no, no, no
Talk about it

If I can pick the best parts of love, I would start it like this
I would start at the time we took our first trip
I would start at the time we had our first kiss
If I can pick the best parts of love, I can do without this
I would take out all the bullshit
I would take out the part about your ex-bitch

I don't know how long I can wait
Oh, I don't know how much I can take
Ooh, when will love give me a break?
Oh, I feel like I'm going insane (ohh)

I'm so goddamn sick of the pain (ohh)
Wasting all my time playing so many games (ohh)
Ups and downs
Feel like I'm caught in the rain (ohh)
I want love without the heartbreak

If I can pick the best parts of love, I would do it like this
I would start at the part where we made love
All the flowers and cards just to make up
If I can pick the best parts of love, I'd do without this
I would take out the part when you changed up
I would take out the part when you gave up, ooh

Don't know how long I can wait (no, no, oh, no)
Ooh, I don't know how much I can take (ohh)
Ooh, when will love give me a break (a break)
Feel like I'm going insane (ohh) (no)

I'm so goddamn sick of the pain (I'm so sick of the pain, ohh)
Wasting all my time playing so many games (ohh)
Ups and downs
Feel like I'm caught in the rain (ohh)
Shit is making me seasick
I want love without the heartbreak (ohh)

Listen
I never claimed to be a genius, mmh
I lived long enough to see this
Thought it was love but I was dreaming
I want to feel love without the heartbreak
I never claimed to be a genius (I never claimed to be a genius)
Would I live long enough to see this? (Yeah)
Thought it was love but I was dreaming (thought it was love but I was dreaming)
I want to feel love without the heartbreak (ohh)

I'm so goddamn sick of the pain (ohh)
Wasting all my time playing so many games (ohh)
Ups and downs




Feel like I'm caught in the rain (ohh)
I want love without the heartbreak
