Tekst piosenki 'Advice' wykonawcy Paradise Fears

I'm taking advice on love and how to make it
And i'm trying not to break it
Before it even starts
My favorite distraction
She's making failure fashion
The cameras roll, we lose control of where tonight will end
We trade our confidences
And lower our defenses
But in the final scene i leave the screen to leave me wondering

Why do i get so bored,
Why can't i just find a love that's worth the wait
Instead of wasting time
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake
And in the end i leave much more than i take
And now i see that we can never be
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams
Now i learned one thing:
That we don't believe the promises we keep (the promises we keep)

Here's what sins are made of
She can not be persuaded
I missed her heart a million times
And god knows i have tried
To shoot her with an arrow
Of cupids own design
The problem is i always miss an hit a passerby

Why do i get so bored,
Why can't i just find a love that's worth the wait
Instead of wasting time
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake
And in the end i leave much more than i take
And now i see that we can never be
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams
Now i learned one thing:
That we don't believe the promises we keep

She's so alone
She's so alone
It's taking everything in me to leave
It's taking everything in me just to say your name
It's a constant reminder to me
That i will never be whole again

I'm taking advice on love and how to make it (make it)
And i'm trying not to break it (break it)
Before it even starts

Why do i get so bored,
Why can't i just find a love that's worth the wait
Instead of wasting time
With every line rehearsed and ever smile so fake
And in the end i leave much more than i take
And now i see that we can never be
I was breaking hearts and you were dashing dreams
Now i learned one thing:
That we don't believe the promises we keep (the promises we keep)
