No such thing

[Verse 1 - Male]
No monsters lived under my bed
Said fear was all in my head
Wishes on stars, they’d all come true
Truth was simple, black and blue

[Verse 2 - Female]
They said love was forever, never fades
Said hard work means success is made
Said the world was fair and kind
But I found cracks between the lines

[Pre-Chorus - Duet]
We grow up, we fall down
Truth gets lost in what we found
Still we chase what can’t be seen
Somewhere in between

[Chorus - Duet]
There’s no such thing as perfect love
No such thing as high above
No such thing as always free
Still it’s what we want to be
No such thing, but we pretend
Broken hearts still try again
In a bad, beautiful world we dream
Of things with no such thing (oh-oh)

[Ad-lib]
(No such thing… yeah, yeah…)

[Verse 3 - Male]
Holiday lights don’t fix the pain
Smiles can hide a quiet rain
Heroes fall, and saints can lie
Even truth can wear disguise

[Verse 4 - Female]
Fairytales don’t pay the bills
Time don’t stop, it never will
Still I keep that child inside
Holding on with open eyes

[Pre-Chorus - Duet]
We grow up, we break through
Still believe in something new
Even knowing what it means
We hold to unseen dreams

[Chorus - Duet]
There’s no such thing as perfect love
No such thing as high above
No such thing as always free
Still it’s what we want to be
No such thing, but we pretend
Broken hearts still try again
In a bad, beautiful world we dream
Of things with no such thing (oh-oh)

[Bridge - Duet]
Maybe it’s crazy, maybe it’s true
We make the magic we once knew
Even if it’s just a lie
It keeps a little hope alive

[Breakdown - Female soft]
Monsters gone… but fear remains
Different shadows, different names

[Breakdown - Male soft]
No such thing… still I believe
In what I feel, not what I see

[Final Chorus - Big Duet]
There’s no such thing as perfect love
No such thing as high above
No such thing as always free
Still it’s what we want to be
No such thing, but we pretend
Broken hearts still try again
In this wild, wandering world we dream
Of things with no such thing

[Outro - Ad-libs]
(No such thing… we still believe…)
(Oh-oh… no such thing…)
(Still we dream… still we dream…)
