You know how they say opposites attract? This is about an instance where they don't.

Opposites 

Verse: 
You are a butterfly 
And I'm a caged bird 
People find you electrifying 
Me, I'm as dull as dirt 

You trust so easily 
I'm as guarded as the biggest castle 
An endless river flows from your mouth 
Opening mine is a hassle 

Pre-Chorus: 
Tell me why the spark don't exist 
Tell me why there's so much resistance 

Chorus: 
It's clear as the cloudless sky, opposites don't attract 
I wanna run away but you're too sly, before I can walk you attack 
There ain't an inch of common ground, but you've knocked me off my feet 
Your lies echo in every sound, your honesty is a dried up stream 
According to them, we should be lovestruck 
according to us, opposites don't really attract 

Verse: 
Your life never stops 
Mine is in slow motion 
Seems like you drank happiness 
I was served poisoned potion 

Jimmy Choo is your man of choice 
I buy cheap t-shirts that won't last 
All caught up on the latest trends 
My mind is stuck in the past 

Pre-Chorus: 
Tell me why the spark don't exist 
Tell me why there's so much resistance 

Chorus: 
It's clear as the cloudless sky, opposites don't attract 
I wanna run away but you're too sly, before I can walk you attack 
There ain't an inch of common ground, but You've knocked me off my feet 
Your lies echo in every sound, your honesty is a dried up stream 
According to theory, we should be lovestruck 
according to us, opposites don't really attract 

Bridge: 
The anger and tears shouldn't be here 
I'm sick and tired of all this fear 
I'm in flames and I can't contain 
My despair when I see your face 

Chorus: 
It's clear as the cloudless sky, opposites don't attract 
I wanna run away but you're too sly, before I can walk you attack 
There ain't an inch of common ground, but You've knocked me off my feet 
Your lies echo in every sound, your honesty is a dried up stream 
According to theory, we should be lovestruck 
according to us, opposites don't really attract
