I pledged allegiance to your heart
I was on my knees
Out of my head right from the start
You were out to tease
I chased those rainbows in your eyes
Oh, you had me hooked
Made you the story of my life
Then you closed the book
You took my dreams
And tore the seams apart
When it comes to heartbreak
You're the state of the art

State of love
It's a state of mind
Easy to lose
And so hard to find
I've stayed too long
I'm packing up
And moving into a new state of love

You said you'd take me all the way
Now I'm out the door
I thought love was a state of grace
Not a state of war
Flying so blind
Lost in a land of confusion
But I see you love's
Only a state of illusion

State of love
It's a state of mind
Easy to lose
And so hard to find
I've stayed too long
I'm packing up
And moving into a new state of love

When your heart cries emergency
Don't come running to me

(Repeat Chorus)
