Mortal
The first time I knew I was mortal
Was when you touched my body
And whispered, "Hold me close"
'Cause I knew solely in the moment
The only thing I wanted
Was what I feared the most
But I've loved everything I'm scared of
Ever since I remember
I don't know what that means
So come on and terrify me, baby
And every fiber in me will bring me to my knees
I didn't write the rule
But you're no exception
Baby, do you know what you started?
I never stood a chance, did I, darling?
If you like the way that my heart is
I'd give it to you forever
Don't you know I quiver before you?
I think I was born to adore you
Pretty little thing with a warning
The brother of love is terror
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
The last time that I felt devotion
I let it consume me
Until I couldn't move
But this time I think my emotions
Are flowing clearly through me
And latching onto you (Oh)
I didn't write the rule
But you're no exception
Baby, do you know what you started?
I never stood a chance, did I, darling?
If you like the way that my heart is
I'd give it to you forever
Don't you know I quiver before you?
I think I was born to adore you
Pretty little thing with a warning
The brother of love is terror
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Baby, do you know what you started?
I never stood a chance, did I, darling?
If you like the way that my heart is
I'd give it to you forever
Don't you know I quiver before you?
I think I was born to adore you
Pretty little thing with a warning
The brother of love is terror
Was when you touched my body
And whispered, "Hold me close"
'Cause I knew solely in the moment
The only thing I wanted
Was what I feared the most
But I've loved everything I'm scared of
Ever since I remember
I don't know what that means
So come on and terrify me, baby
And every fiber in me will bring me to my knees
I didn't write the rule
But you're no exception
Baby, do you know what you started?
I never stood a chance, did I, darling?
If you like the way that my heart is
I'd give it to you forever
Don't you know I quiver before you?
I think I was born to adore you
Pretty little thing with a warning
The brother of love is terror
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
The last time that I felt devotion
I let it consume me
Until I couldn't move
But this time I think my emotions
Are flowing clearly through me
And latching onto you (Oh)
I didn't write the rule
But you're no exception
Baby, do you know what you started?
I never stood a chance, did I, darling?
If you like the way that my heart is
I'd give it to you forever
Don't you know I quiver before you?
I think I was born to adore you
Pretty little thing with a warning
The brother of love is terror
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Baby, do you know what you started?
I never stood a chance, did I, darling?
If you like the way that my heart is
I'd give it to you forever
Don't you know I quiver before you?
I think I was born to adore you
Pretty little thing with a warning
The brother of love is terror
