  • But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
    Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you

    Everything fades
    Everything dies
    Put me in a vase, but you can't
    You can't stop time

    It's not 1999
    But this face is still mine
    The way you look at me
    I swear my heart hits rewind

    But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
    Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
    If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
    Don't let 'em change your mind
    Wonder why you took a risk
    On a broken heart you cannot fix
    No, I never knew a love like this
    Now I'm picking purple irises

    I got you
    And you got me
    And do you still think I'm pretty?
    And are you happy?

    It's not 2014
    But you still look good in those jeans
    Lookin' in the mirror
    Do you see what I see?

    But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
    Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
    If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
    Don't let 'em change your mind
    Wonder why you took a risk
    On a broken heart you cannot fix
    No, I never knew a love like this
    Now I'm picking purple irises

    And we're blooming into the change
    I'm overthinking it
    Picking purple irises
    And leaving love stains
    I got violet memories
    I'm overthinking it
    Oh, and leaving love stains
    Love stains

    But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
    Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
    If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
    Don't let 'em change your mind
    Oh, if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
    Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
    If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
    Don't let 'em change your mind
    Wonder why you took a risk
    On a broken heart you cannot fix
    No, I never knew a love like this
    Now I'm picking purple irises Writer/s: Gwen Stefani, Jakob Hazell, Niko Rubio, Svante Halldin
