Rules of Attraction

Track #8 from 'Constellation Me'

Now I don’t know much

But the one thing I do, is that love,

Love’s hurt all who’ve touched, her jealous roots

And you’re the flower in a bed where I’m born to loose

Ohh I, Ohh I, Ohh I

I need exception, from the rules of attraction

Cos I really really really can’t accept them

You’re so above me, in the measure of beauty

and I don’t think it’s fair that that should stop me

Cos I know, you’ll never see

The heart that beats, underneath

That’s why I need exception from the rules of attraction

When it comes to you

Lies feed from lust, and its poisonous fruit, and baby you

No you can’t help but love, its shallow juice

There’s so much you’ll never see cos you can’t see through

Ohh I, Ohh I, Ohh I

I need exception, from the rules of attraction

Cos I really really really can’t accept them

You’re so above me, in the measure of beauty

and I don’t think it’s fair that that should stop me

Cos I know you’ll never see

The heart that beats underneath

That’s why I need exception from the rules of attraction

When it comes to you…

Don’t you know the path you’re on is paved with all the hearts you’ve been leaving,

broken and bleeding,

And can’t you see the life you’re living only ends with lying and cheating, hurt and deceiving

Oh yeah when it comes to you…
