Love will leave you bleeding
Love will leave you torn
And yet believe the sunset
And never tuck the dawn

Even though we dream the journey
And we can think we're there
There's no cause for disappointment
No reason for despair

Love is grief, it wounds you
It is a house of pain
But even though it cuts you
It's beauty will remain

Take the pieces of your broken heart
Ignore the hurt and make it melt
Cry heart, but never break
There's far too much at stake

Love will burn like fire
And scorch the one it's for
But it leaves a window open
For each closed and bolted door

(Loving)
Loving is an act of faith (Loving)
A religion on its own (Loving)
A church of cruel mercy (Loving, loving)
Where tenderness is shown

Don't let its heat destroy you
You can't allow its pain
To eradicate the wonder
That means love was all in vain

Take the pieces of your broken heart
Ignore the hurt and make it melt
Cry hard but never break
There's far too much at stake
