you think that weakness is only
a way to give your heart to the enemy
but if the blow that knocks you out is the one you don’t see
then why are you fighting
Listen
before you lose the ocean from your tears
before they carve your fists out of stone
before they finally force you to your knees
only love can set you free
you were no civilian you fought every war
but now you don’t want to fear your heart anymore
you always did what was right and it was no good
now you stay awake in the dark and think your no good
Listen:
takes a baby years to know
what’s making it cry
but what it wants aint no mystery
only love can set you free
and I’ve been so lucky
i’m just a normal man that’s true
and i got nothing to brag about or maybe i do
that once i was loved by someone like you
that once i loved someone like you
Listen:
i was happy to live with a lie
cause then i’d have nothing to deny
except a face ruined by vanity
only love can set you free
swept under the bridge and out into the ocean
