"The Greatest Thing" lyrics

She said, "Open your heart, don't be defeated"
Leaving life here on out with lack of feeling
You walk in, wanting to fix it
But who would wanna fix this, honey?
Went against all that she said, I won't give into love

You say you love me, but who would ever love me, honey?

Got an issue that I can't admit to
I should want it, but I won't commit to falling for you
It's just something that I won't do
Giving in would be a bad decision
Way too busy with my own affliction
Falling for you – it's the greatest thing I'll never learn to do

You left, head in your hands and only half a man
Breaking up with the messed-up situation
All my fault, I know caused it
Who would wanna cause that, honey?
Pacing, hating myself for not feeling in love

You said you loved me, but who would ever love me, honey?

Got an issue that I can't admit to
I should want it, but I won't commit to falling for you
It's just something that I won't do
Giving in would be a bad decision
Way too busy with my own affliction
Falling for you – it's the greatest thing I'll never learn to do

Sticks and stones they broke my bones
And all the words they hurt me
Stitched myself a perfect world
Where I'm forever lonely

Sticks and stones they broke my bones
And all the words they hurt me
Built myself a heart of stone
So no one can get close to me

You said you loved me, but who would ever love me, honey?

Got an issue that I can't admit to
I should want it, but I won't commit to falling for you
It's just something that I won't do
Giving in would be a bad decision
Way too busy with my own affliction
Falling for you – it's the greatest thing I'll never learn to do
