lyrics

I loved a girl
I thought she was the one
She was my star
She was my bright blazing sun

Under the surface
It wasn’t worth it
If you look too close you’re gonna get burned

Love can wax
Love can wane
It can bring you joy
Or nothing but pain

Under the surface
Ask is it worth it?
If you look to close you’re gonna get burned

Time goes by and you think you’ll be fine
Then she sneaks into the back of your mind
You try to shake it off, but you know it’s never enough
Once you slip it’s a total eclipse of the heart

So love with care
Treat yourself right
Specially when you’re loving
In the middle of the night

Under the surface
Make sure it’s worth it
If you look to close you’re gonna get burned

Time goes by and you think you’ll be fine
Then she sneaks into the back of your mind
You try to shake it off, but you know it’s never enough
Once you slip it’s a total eclipse of the heart

So when you love a girl
Make sure she’s the one
Get to know her properly
It’ll save you in the long run

Cause under the surface
Make sure she’s worth it

If you look to close you’re gonna get burned.
