Love

Is a beautiful brutal thing

It sings at night like the wind

It stings your heart like a whip

It rocks your soul like a ship

And love

Is a beautiful brutal thing

It can mean everything

Or nothing at all

Such a feeling can make you tall

Or as small as a distant star

It's the cushion to break your fall

Love triumphs over all



Love

Is a beautiful brutal thing

And it gives the sweetest of pain

It wakes your spirit and then

You feel like living again

And rain



Falls when you think the Sun

Has just begun

To shine above

And love

Is mysterious as it's old

It's the secret you've never told

It's the tears of sorrow and joy

For that girl or that boy

It makes you feel

It makes you feel

It makes you feel

A beautiful brutal thing



And love

Is a beautiful brutal thing

It can mean everything

Or nothing at all

Such a feeling could make you tall

Or as small as a distant star

It's the cushion to break your fall

Love triumphs over all

It makes you feel

A beautiful brutal thing

Love
