[Verse 1]
Words on paper said we're perfect
We had such a nice apartment
And the light always hit in the living room at noon
Remember making up on the couch? It was velvet

[Pre-Chorus]
It was perfect, then, in the present tense and we felt it
But the present fades to yesterday like it melted

[Chorus]
It's in the rules of love
It's in the rules of love
And I didn't write thеm and we tried to fight them
But you can't changе the rules of love

[Verse 2]
In the dark we hide our sadness
'Cause when we touch we just don't have it
Let you go so you can roll into happiness
Wish I had the cheat codes to this tournament

[Pre-Chorus]
It was perfect, then, in the present tense and we felt it
But the present fades to yesterday like it melted
[Chorus]
It's in the rules of love
It's in the rules of love
And I didn't write them and we tried to fight them
But you can't change the rules of love
You can't fight them, no (Rules of love)
You can't fight them, no (Rules of love)

[Outro]
Mm-mm (Rules of love), mm-mm
Mm-mm (Rules of love), mm-mm
