[Verse 1]
If you were the Mona Lisa
You'd be hanging in the Louvre
Everyone would come to see you
You'd be impossible to move
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems to me that's what you are
A rare and priceless work of art
You stay behind your velvet rope
But I will not renounce all hope
[Chorus]
And I'm right by your side, like a thief in the night
I stand in front of the masterpiece
And I can't tell you why it hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
'Cause, after all, nothing's indestructible
[Verse 2]
From the moment I first saw you
All the darkness turned to white
An Impressionistic painting
Tiny particles of light
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems to me that's what you're like
The "Look but please don't touch me" type
And honestly, it can't be fun
To always be the chosen one
[Chorus]
And I'm right by your side, like a thief in the night
I stand in front of the masterpiece
And I can't tell you why it hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece (Masterpiece)
'Cause, after all, nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible, nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible
[Chorus]
And I'm right by your side, like a thief in the night
I stand in front of the masterpiece
And I can't tell you why it hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
And I'm right by your side, like a thief in the night
I stand in front of the masterpiece
And I can't tell you why it hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece (Masterpiece)
'Cause, after all, nothing's indestructible
'Cause, after all, nothing's indestructible
If you were the Mona Lisa
You'd be hanging in the Louvre
Everyone would come to see you
You'd be impossible to move
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems to me that's what you are
A rare and priceless work of art
You stay behind your velvet rope
But I will not renounce all hope
[Chorus]
And I'm right by your side, like a thief in the night
I stand in front of the masterpiece
And I can't tell you why it hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
'Cause, after all, nothing's indestructible
[Verse 2]
From the moment I first saw you
All the darkness turned to white
An Impressionistic painting
Tiny particles of light
[Pre-Chorus]

And I can't tell you why it hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece (Masterpiece)
'Cause, after all, nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible, nothing's indestructible
Nothing's indestructible
[Chorus]
And I'm right by your side, like a thief in the night
I stand in front of the masterpiece
And I can't tell you why it hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece
And I'm right by your side, like a thief in the night
I stand in front of the masterpiece
And I can't tell you why it hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece (Masterpiece)
'Cause, after all, nothing's indestructible
'Cause, after all, nothing's indestructible
