Alexander Harvey - The Politics of Broken Hearts Lyrics

I wish I could lie to you
So I don't need to make a fool of myself
My eyes are red and cheeks are swollen
But I think you can tell I'm holding something else
Oh
I'm crying with the moon
You're pulling my heartstrings
Like an orchestra tuning their instruments

Cause I'm a paper boy
You're a fire girl
You'll set me alight
But this love's made me afraid of the dark
And I don't have the courage for politics of broken hearts

I see you in my sleep
But I can't tell if it's a dream
Or a nightmare
And I don't know if this is right
But I don't need to know tonight
No I don't care
Oh
You hold my hand like only lovers do
You're looking so happy
Happier than you could be with me

Cause I'm a paper boy
You're a fire girl
You'll set me alight
But this love's made me afraid of the dark
And I don't have the courage for politics of broken hearts
