[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
