lyrics

I used to think I knew what love was
How wrong was I?
All I knew is I'd had my heart broken
But didn't know why
Then you came along and showed me the difference
Between love and having your heart broken
‘cause when you're with that one you'll know
That that organ in your chest has been stolen

When you're with her no matter what
All your senses say that nothing's real
‘cause where you are, what you touch, what you feel
Nothing's real till she goes home

Don't wanna go back to reality
And leave this place called fantasy
If you need me I'll be waiting in a memory

You'll know when you're bad at saying goodbye
Couldn't do it even if you tried
‘cause every time you try
A kiss will substitute goodbye
And then you'll know she had you at hello

You'll know when you've got the time
Inhibitions declined
But all you wanna do is lie
Its times like these you'll know
That its different then when your heart's broke

When the others are around
They'll know what you know
That across the room memories bloom like a garden in spring time
And i don't want this season to end
