  • I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
    I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I

    So you crashed into the wall
    You're cleaning up the broken glass
    Thinking, "What the hell was that?" Yeah
    In the movie of your life
    You're the first to die
    And the critics called it trash (too bad)

    They tell you that you feel too much
    Euphoria right down to the crush
    It all breaks down, it always does
    It all works out, it always does
    And the shit they say in the songs you love
    The greatest hits and the deepest cuts
    It all breaks down, it always does
    It all works out, it always does

    To love somebody
    To hurt somebody
    To lose somebody
    Is to know you're only human, honey
    To love somebody
    To hurt somebody
    To lose somebody
    Well, at least you got to love somebody

    I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
    Well, at least you got to love somebody

    You took a right hook to the jaw
    So you go and brush your teeth
    A little powder on your cheeks
    And you feel a little better
    This blue and green ball
    Keep spinning to the beat
    You gotta try and move your feet
    Gotta be boxing clever

    They tell you that you feel too much
    You bet it all on a summer crush
    It all breaks down, it always does
    It all works out, it always does
    And you wear his T-shirt, you hate his guts
    You read the handbook, you take the drugs
    He said, "From here on out, it's us"
    It always was, it always was

    To love somebody
    To hurt somebody
    To lose somebody
    Is to know you're only human, honey
    To love somebody
    To hurt somebody
    To lose somebody
    Well, at least you got to love somebody

    I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
    At least you got to love somebody
    I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I

    They tell you that you feel too much (na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
    Euphoria right down to the crush (na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
    It all breaks down, it always does
    It all works out, it always does
    And the shit they say in the songs you love (na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
    The greatest hits and the deepest cuts (na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
    It all breaks down, it always does
    It all works out, it always does

    To love somebody (to love you)
    To hurt somebody (to hurt you)
    To lose somebody (to lose you)
    Is to know you're only human, honey
    To love somebody (to love you)
    To hurt somebody (to hurt you)
    To lose somebody (to lose you)
    Well, at least you got to love somebody

    I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I (to love you, to hurt you, to lose you)
    Well, at least you got to love somebody (it's only human, honey)
    I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I (to love you, to hurt you, to lose you)
    At least you got to love somebody
    I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I (to love you, to hurt you, to lose you)
    I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I Writer/s: Holly Humberstone, Jon Green, Robert Milton
