Jag har skrivit ditt namn på en spegel med läppstift Och jag vet det låter klyschigt Och du har ritat ett hjärta på spegeln med läppstift Men nu faller vi helt fritt, uh För du sa att mitt stjärntecken var ett problem för vi båda dragna till drama Men jag tror inte astrologi är den saken som fick oss att dala För du frågade om jag dör för dig Men baby jag vill leva nu Och det är 02: 00 och du ringer nonstop Och vi gör det som förut Och du kan catcha mig i sängen, gör ba' grejer som hon älskar nu You took my breath away, vill ändå aldrig andas ut Du var min Mandy Moore, Mandy Moore Och jag går tillbaks för ofta fast vår kärlek är på låtsas Du är min Mandy Moore, du är min Mandy Moore Alla tårar har jag torkat när mitt hjärta blivit krossat Jag ser bara gyllende portar Och huvudet sitter och glor Ja, i mina ögon så finns en historia Den sista förloraren har nog den fulaste kronan Så snurra min flaska igen Sanning på sanning, det blir konsekvens Älskar det stökiga i våran cell Den brukar vara grå men den lyser ikväll Och rött är så vackert Så blodet jag blöder, det droppar i timmar ibland Och rött är så vackert Jag gör vad som helst Jag kan köpa dig rosor i plast Så catcha mig i sängen, gör ba' grejer som hon älskar nu You took my breath away, vill ändå aldrig andas ut Du var min Mandy Moore, Mandy Moore Och jag går tillbaks för ofta fast vår kärlek är på låtsas Du är min Mandy Moore, du är min Mandy Moore Alla tårar har jag torkat när mitt hjärta blivit krossat If we're talking about someone who's never been upfront We should be talking about you Well I'm gonna be upfront now, I'm not over you En akilleshäl och en ängel En explosion och min låga Min första kyss i regnet Och den enda som fått mig att komma Mitt bästa sex och mitt enda ex och mitt andetag och vårt nederlag Kritiker står här på bion idag Recensionen är bra Men jag får gåshud när jag ser dig nu Och hur mår du när allt är difust?
