Caught up in a conversation
With a stranger in the subway station
Can't remember where I'm supposed to be
Pushing through the turnstile later
With all the suits and alligators
I feel someone brush up next to me
Then I see you and it blinds me
With your mama's rhinestones
And your thrift store finery
I've been wandering the dark
Looking for someone to find me
When I close my eyes
It's only you I'm thinking of
I don't know why I try
To be so tough, to be so tough
A heart that will not break
It's not enough, it's not enough
What a beautiful mistake
To fall in love, to fall in love
Plastic phones and plastic faces
Haunting all the usual places
But failed and frayed is how I feel
In a crowd I'm still apart
The only one with a beating heart
With the tears and stains to make it real
You and I, we are the same
Faded pictures in a broken frame
And I don't even know your name
When I close my eyes
It's only you I'm thinking of
I don't know why I try
To be so tough, to be so tough
A heart that will not break
It's not enough, it's not enough
What a beautiful mistake
To fall in love, to fall in love
Oh, to fall in love
Oh, to fall in love
