[Verse 1]
I put everything I loved into a box
And I tied it to the hood of my car
And I drove 100 miles an hour 'til the tires wore through
That's the way it felt to love you
[Verse 2]
I climbed the highest building I could find
And danced around the rooftop drinking wine
Yeah I knew I could fall and I almost wanted to
Yeah that's the way it felt to love you
[Chorus]
And it never rains in LA until it pours
Now the war is slowly rising at my door
That's the way it felt to love you
[Verse 3]
I broke into a house that wasn't mine
And slept like a baby through the night
As they dragged me to the jail
That's thе way it felt to love you
[Chorus]
And it nevеr rains in LA until it pours
Now the war is slowly rising at my door
That's the way it felt to love you
[Bridge]
The way it felt to love you
The way it felt to love you
Yeah, I said the words I had to to let you go
If you only knew what I knew
The way it felt to love you
Yeah you'd beg me not to love you anymore
That's the way it felt to love you
[Outro]
Ooh
My band just keeps on playing while the whole thing starts to sink
I was trying to stay alive while you were writing the strings
