"If I'm Gonna Love You" lyrics

My type is someone who can't really love me
With a heart that changes from crimson to blue
Someone who breaks in then runs out with nothing

If I'm gonna love you I'm gonna lose you

My type is someone who looks good in red flags
A sad kind of wisdom beneath their bad mood
They'll say I'm their soulmate and then take it all back

If I'm gonna love you I'm gonna lose you
Think you really see me 'til I'm see-through
When you pull me under, I'm gonna let you
If I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna lose

My type is someone who never quite gets there
Who will always be the way that he's been
I'll search his eyes for an answer that's not there
Cause the answer is I'm gonna lose him

If I'm gonna love you I'm gonna lose you
Know you got your pain and it's my excuse
So I put it in my car and I take it home too
If I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna lose

You
For you
You know there's nothing I wouldn't do
For you

I'll show you my heart and I'll beg you to take it
Then I'll let you'll break it like I always do
I'll give up a part of me all the while saying
If I'm gonna love you I'm gonna lose you
