  • I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose
    I've been forcing myself not to forget just to feel worse
    I've been getting away with it all my life
    (Getting away)

    However I look it's clear to see
    That I love you more than you love me
    However I look it's clear to see
    I love you more than you love me

    I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless
    I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you I couldn't care less
    I've been getting away with it all my life
    Getting away with it all my life
    (Getting away)

    However I look it's clear to see
    That I love you more than you love me
    However I look it's clear to see
    I love you more than you love me
    I love you more than you love me
    More than you love me

    I thought I gave up falling in love a long long time ago
    I guess I like it but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know
    And it's been true all my life
    Yes, it's been true all my life

    I've been talking to myself just to suggest that I'm selfish (getting ahead)
    I've been trying to impress that more is less and I'm repressed (I should do what he said)

    However I look it's clear to see
    I love you more than you love me
    However I look it's clear to see
    I love you more than you love me
    I love you more than you love me
    I love you more than you love me

  • AnnieNo wonder I always thought this was Pet Shop Boys! Very interesting tidbit about Morrissey, and it makes perfect sense.
