Damien Rice What Do You Know About Love Lyrics

What Do You Know About Love Lyrics

What Do You Know About Love?

Starts with a smile

Moves oceans

Lasts for awhile

She turns a corner

And you lose your mind

And you think how unkind, how unkind

What Do You Know About Love?

What's written in your book

The smallest distraction

And you have to look

She's in your water

And you're in your head

Somewhere else



What Do You Know About Love?

Except that you kill

The deeper you cut it

The more it will spill

You flood her with water

When she shows her flame

And you expect her to get up

And feel the same

What Do You Know About Love?

Except that you don't

She gets herself ready

When she will I won't

You driver her away

And you crash to your knees

She seems happier without me

She seems happier without me



What Do You Know About Love?

Starts with a smile

Moves over mountains

Falls like a child

Cries like a baby

At the sight of its blood

But if only we understood

What Do You Know About Love?

What's written in your book

When she adores you

It's you that gets stuck

It's not the attraction

And the beauty is no blame

It's the dealing with your shame



What Do You Know About Love?

Except that you kill

You beg for forgiveness

For the freeness of your will

You've broken the alter

Where her body is lain

And you question

Wherefore comes this pain?

What Do You Know About Love?

Except that you don't

The heavens have opened

And you say they won't

So you rip out your heart

And you put it to freeze

And she seems happier without me

She seems happier without me

She seems happier, happier

Without me
