[Verse 1] I wore a dress of hope Like it was made for me I walked in with my heart So full of fantasy You said, "Mon amour" Like it was gold in your mouth But every little promise Fell quiet on the couch [Pre-Chorus] And I was young enough To call it fate I was blind enough To call it grace Now the mirror tells me What the roses hide A tender little lie With a harder side [Chorus] Oh, it is not magic It is not magic No, it is not magic, mon coeur Oh, love is heavy Life is heavy And I am aching in my soul [Verse 2] The dishes in the sink Look like a small defeat Your shoes by the door Still haunting the hall to me We laughed through the dark Like we could make it bloom But morning came with bills And silence in the room [Pre-Chorus] And I was young enough To want the spark I was foolish enough To trust the dark Now I see the seams In the satin dream Every kiss can fade And nothing stays pristine [Chorus] Oh, it is not magic It is not magic No, it is not magic, mon coeur Oh, love is heavy Life is heavy And I am aching in my soul [Bridge] I wanted chandeliers And a story made of light Instead I found the floor And the long, long night Still I keep my heart Though it trembles in my hand I am learning, oui How to stand [Final Chorus] Oh, it is not magic It is not magic No, it is not magic, mon coeur Oh, love is heavy Life is heavy And I am aching in my soul Oh, it is not magic It is not magic But I am still here anyway
