Impossible People

Well, my parents raised three only children
We had to set little fires for attention
It was only a matter of time
Til it all burned out

In high school i read all the classics
And the only real love ended tragic
I threw rocks at her window all night
She'd throw 'em back down

Yeah, i keep trying to get impossible people to love me
I know how it ends but i keep writing the same old story
There's good in everyone i guess
I lose myself in search of it
I keep trying to get impossible people to love me

Well, i learned to ignore all the warnings
Until eggshells felt like hardwood flooring
And when the power goes out
I sit in the dark and i wait

I guess i still think that's what love is
A card game where everyone's bluffing
I'd lose the shirt off my back
Every cent that i have
And you still can't drag me away

I keep trying to get impossible people to love me
I know how it ends but i keep writing the same old story
There's good in everyone, i guess
I lose myself in search of it
I keep trying to get impossible people to love me

I keep trying to get impossible people to love me
I know how it ends but i keep writing the same old story
You can pull the heart out of my chest
I'd still believe in love, i bet
I keep trying to get impossible people to love me
