Oh how sadness loves you
It has crawled in and covered up
And you protect it like a child
Something endangered and wild
But I've seen fear grow up
And firmly take hold
It hides inside a blanket
Man, misery is cold

Lightning does
Strike twice
People fall in love
All the time
We are not defined
By a price
'Cause everybody is
One of a kind

Oh how hatred waits
Over years without letting go
It is burrowed in and fed
And it's trying to pull you under into the deep end
But you are not on trial
So declare yourself free
And set fire to your devil
Tell him to find another tree

'Cause lightning does
Strike twice
And people fall in love
All the time
We are not defined
By a price
'Cause everybody is
Everybody is
One of a kind

So when your light's gone out
When there's no wax left
When you can't get up
Even lift your head
Stay inside the darkness
For as long as it takes
Stay till you adjust to it
Stay till you can see your hands in front of your face
Stay till you can see your hands in front of your face
Stay right there till you can see your hands in front of your face

Lightning does
Strike twice
People fall in love
All the time
Lightning does
Strike twice
People are fallin' in love
All the time
We are not defined
By a price
'Cause everybody is
Everybody is
One of a kind
