Masterpiece

If you were the Mona Lisa

You'd be hanging in the Louvre

Everyone would come to see you

You'd be impossible to move

 

It seems to me, it's what you are

A rare and priceless work of art

You stay behind the velvet rope

But I will not renounce all hope

 

And I'm right by your side

Like a thief in the night

I stand in front of a masterpiece

And I can't tell you why

It hurts so much

To be in love with a masterpiece

'Cause after all

Nothing's indestructible

 

From the moment I first saw you

All the darkness turned to light

An impressionistic painting

Tiny particles of light

 

It seems to me, it's what you like

The "look but please don't touch me" type

And honestly, it can't be fun

To always be the chosen one

 

And I'm right by your side

Like a thief in the night

I stand in front of a masterpiece

And I can't tell you why

It hurts so much

To be in love with a masterpiece

'Cause after all

Nothing's indestructible (4x)

 

And I'm right by your side

Like a thief in the night

I stand in front of a masterpiece

And I can't tell you why

It hurts so much

To be in love with a masterpiece

(2x)

 

'Cause after all

Nothing's indestructible

(2x)
