We cry through the night without being starved

And goodbyes come like a knife to the heart

One tender kiss can drive out the dark

I guess that's why we love



We seem to forever fall apart at the seams

What we thought was real was only a dream

One gentle touch can wash us clean

So i guess that's why we love



A heart may break, but it keeps on beating

We may lose, but we keep on believing

That we'll find that hand that fits like a glove

So i guess that's why we love



We've clung like a fool to an obvious lie

We've witnessed the truth and wished we were blind

But we'd do it again just to feel so alive

I guess that's why we love



Oh, to hold someone close and feel so alive

Yes, that's why we love
