you say that you can't take it anymore
someone hurt you so you close the door
put the lock on your heart and hide the key
gonna build yourself a wall of stone
gonna live there inside it all alone
and you say love's the last thing that you need

but every drop or rain that falls makes a flower grow
don't give up now, don't give up now
baby, don't you know

only love can leave you twisted inside
only love can make you glad you're alive
only love can mend a heart or break it
only love can make the tears tumble down
only love can turn your whole world around
only love, only love

so you sacrifice your trusting soul
so you can maintain complete control
when you're cold as ice you can't get burned
there's a chance you'll break each time you fall
but when you lose you faith, you lose it all
and it's gonan get lonely in your world

only love, you can't keep runnin' away
only love, you're gonna need it someday
only love, don't you know that's what we're here f
