Song byEllie Goulding

in AlbumLights

Who are we to be emotional?

Who are we to play with hearts and throw away it all?

Oh, who are we to turn each other's heads?

Who are we to find ourselves in other people's beds?

Oh, I don't like the way I never listen to myself

I feel like I'm on fire, I'm too shy to cry for help

Oh, I don't think you know me much at all

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

I'm feeling down about this love

Who are you to make me feel so good?

Who are we to tell ourselves that we're misunderstood?

Oh, who am I to say I'm always yours?

Who am I to choose the boy that everyone adores?

Oh, I don't see a reason why we can't just be apart

We're falling on each other like we're always in the dark

Oh, I don't think you know me much at all, at all

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

(At all)

This love is not what you want

This heart will never be yours

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall
