Lyrics

<p>I've always been afraid of love songs.<br /> Like a camera to a tribesman,<br /> I would rather turn down bribes than<br /> steal the soul of this love.<br /> <br /> So you'll just have to get used to the fact that<br /> I'm never gonna sing the words 'I love you'<br /> I'll have to find another way to tell you<br /> and compel you to my arms<br /> and though I know that rhymes with 'charms'<br /> I won't<br /> 'cause I've always been afraid of love songs.<br /> <br /> I tread with extra care near love songs.<br /> I don't want to be the one to<br /> make the terminal affront to<br /> break the back of this love.<br /> <br /> So you'll just have to get used to the fact that<br /> I'm never gonna sing the words 'I love you'<br /> I'll have to find another way to tell you<br /> and impel you to my side<br /> and though I know that rhymes with 'bride'<br /> I won't<br /> 'cause I've always been afraid of love songs.<br /> <br /> I've always been afraid of love songs.<br /> Like a hammer to a mirror<br /> If I shatter, trapped in fear or<br /> loathing if I break this love<br /> <br /> So you'll just have to get used to the fact that<br /> I'm never gonna sing the words 'I love you'<br /> I'll have to find another way to tell you<br /> and propel you next to me<br /> and though that rhymes with 'sexually'<br /> I won't<br /> 'cause I've always been afraid of love songs.<br /> <br /> I'm never gonna sing the words 'I love you'<br /> 'cause I've always been afraid of love songs.</p>
