[Verse 1]
Caught you at midnight, not in my right mind
What you're afraid of is where I just came from
An ugly confession
I think that I'm broken when I try to be open

[Pre-Chorus]
I get the feeling that I'm giving up on something I love too much
The sweetest misery that's taking me, I'm lost in the rush
Because

[Chorus]
Ever since you've been my ace of hearts
Hit me like a freight train in the dark
Come on, baby, take me far away
I wanna get so lost in the great escape

[Post-Chorus]
We shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try so hard
We shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try so hard

[Verse 2]
You think you can meet me alone on the side street
There's darkness between us, the moon is a witness
An ugly confession
I feel so unstable when it's out on the table
[Pre-Chorus]
I get the feeling that I'm giving up on something I love too much
The sweetest misery that's taking me, I'm lost in the rush
Because

[Chorus]
Ever since you've been my ace of hearts
Hit me like a freight train in the dark
Come on, baby, take me far away
I wanna get so lost in the great escape

[Post-Chorus]
We shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try so hard
We shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try so hard

[Bridge]
Shouldn't have to try so hard
Shouldn't have to try so hard

[Chorus]
Ever since you've been my ace of hearts
Hit me like a freight train in the dark
Come on, baby, take me far away
I wanna get so lost in the great escape

[Outro]
We shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try so hard
We shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try so hard
