"The Catch" lyrics

"The Catch"

I'ma pick a fight tonight
So maybe when we say goodbye, it won't hurt
I'll yell until my throat is dry
Tell you I don't care 'til I believe the words
'Cause, baby, it always starts like a movie
They call me their American beauty queen
Like I'm their dream
But dreams never seem to last past the morning
'Cause they always leave without any warning signs
But not this time

So what's the catch?
Thought by now you'd be gone
I never had something permanent
But it's like you were born to prove me wrong
'Cause now we're still going strong
And I was scared I'd get burned by this
But this time, I'm proven wrong

I'm used to hearing half the truth
Decoding all the power moves from games they play
So when you said you'd see this through
I guess that I had just assumed the words were fake
'Cause, baby, it always ends like a sad song
They say they'll stay, but they always pass on by
But not this time

So what's the catch?
Thought by now you'd be gone
I never had something permanent
But it's like you were born to prove me wrong
'Cause now we're still going strong
And I was scared I'd get burned by this
But this time, I'm proven wrong

So what's the catch? (So what's the catch?)
So what's the catch? (So what's the catch?)
Mm-mm

So maybe this time the movie won't end, and
I'll write you songs, but they won't be sad, and
When I wake up, the dream will keep lasting on
'Cause I'm ready to be wrong

What's the catch?
Thought by now you'd be gone
I never had something permanent
But it's like you were born to prove me wrong
And now I know all along
I was someone who deserves all this
Oh, my love, you proved me wrong

So what's the catch? (So what's the catch?)
So what's the catch? (So what's the catch?)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
What's the catch?
