Lyrics: William Keane/Tara Flanagan
Music: William Keane/Tara Flanagan
I got good at faking smiles
I learned to paint inside the lines
I tore my heart right off my sleeve
I know just when to quiet down
When everybody else is loud
My thoughts are safe inside of me
I tried playing a part
But the role was never really mine
You came unexpected
You came at the perfect time
I had it all worked out
Down to the final line
Love doesn't play by rules
It's not something you decide
Now it's all unrehearsed
We make up every scene
Love doesn't need a stage
It comes unexpectedly
And all the love songs I ignored
Well, they make sense now that I'm yours
We're an unchained melody
And all the love films I turned off
Are now my favourite ones to watch
I've got The Notebook on repeat
I tried playing a part
But the role was never really mine
You came unexpected
You came at the perfect time
I had it all worked out
Down to the final line
Love doesn't play by rules
It's not something you decide
Now it's all unrehearsed
We make up every scene
Love doesn't need a stage
It comes unexpectedly
I memorised every line off by heart
Soon realised that it wasn't enough
Now here you are, stood clapping your hands
Not 'cos of some silly show
But 'cos you love who I am
