| They say it’s so much better to have loved and lost
|
| Than to have lived in a bubble never knowing the cost
|
| Of a broken heart like a loaded gun, it scares everyone, everyone, everyone,
|
| everyone
|
| Tells me the same thing every day: «You're wasting your time, just wasting away
|
| There’s a hole in your heart. |
| Just go fill it with love»
|
| But what is love? |
| What is love? |
| What is love?
|
| What is this thing I’ve been told since thirteen years old
|
| Where you feel understood, undeniably good?
|
| It’s a stain on your sneaker, a hole in your speaker
|
| A feeling apart when you’ve emptied your heart
|
| She’s at the upstairs windowpane
|
| As the young boy cries in the rain
|
| She’ll never know the power she wields
|
| As the thunder falls on his ears
|
| And he tells himself, «Never again»
|
| All these engagements and lover’s spit
|
| As they grasp at a future and promise it
|
| Will be joyful and fruitful, «We're better as two»
|
| And I cried too, I cried too, I cried too, I cried
|
| Hoping you’d hear me and see right through
|
| All the endless denial I gave to you
|
| I was childishly hoping you’d pull me through
|
| I want it too, want it too, want it too
|
| I want it to change me and lift me explain me and give me
|
| A moment of time less alone in my mind
|
| When I felt so strange you would hold me and say
|
| «I'm stranger Than you can imagine. |
| It’s true
|
| And I’m yours and I’m yours and I’m here
|
| And I swear there’s nothing to fear"
|
| So the young woman lies on the bed
|
| While the young man hears lies in his head
|
| And there’s no one there and nothing left to be said
|
| All these engagements and lover’s spit
|
| All these engagements and lover’s spit
|
| All these engagements and lover’s spit
|
| They grasp for it. |
| They beg for it
|
| They smother it and cling to it
|
| All these engagements and lover’s spit
|
| All these engagements and lover’s spit
|
| All these engagements and lover’s spit
|
| They grasp for it. |
| They beg for it
|
| They smother it and cling to it
|
| Love is kind
|
| Love is fair
|
| Love is real
|
| Love is true
|
| I was wrong
|
| I held on
|
| I waited for you
|
| To be whole |
