Beautiful and Strange

When they say a heart's too young to truly fall in love
And these are the words of liars or just fools
Who's to say when that feeling will creep
Down an anonymous street and break every sensible rule

It's beautiful and strange, common and plain
And the only thing for certain is all the uncertainty
You feel you're numb, revealed and sometimes hidden
From the truth that you know all too well inside
And these are only a few of the many contradictions of love

Love's a pirate, a thief, who'll make you believe
That one day he'll fly a flag of truce
Though he lies through his smiles, still he makes
You believe, you know, you could be wrong

It's beautiful and strange, common and plain
And the only thing for certain is all the uncertainty
You feel you're numb, revealed and sometimes hidden
From the truth that you know all too well inside
And these are only a few of the many contradictions of love

What's a little confusion, a little despair
If it's the price to be recognized by love?

Oh, yes, it's beautiful and strange
Yes, it's beautiful and strange
And it's beautiful
