I curl up inside, wrapped in this pain A quiet storm that grows, calling your name I watch the smoke rise from your cigarette While we sit through shows we haven’t finished yet And it goes on, yeah, it goes on I wonder if this is the time to hold tight When every what if keeps me up at night And you give in, without shame or regret Loving like you’ve loved and won’t ever forget Oh, love, it takes and gives A fire we burn, a life we live And every word of love we say It’s just proof we’ve let it slip away But love, it’s here to share Not just something for the poet to bear The scent of you, so close yet far Cruel how distance hides where you are I realize now what love’s all about It’s a song of loss that echoes loud I wonder if this is the time to hold tight When every what if keeps me up at night And you give in, without shame or regret Loving like you’ve loved and won’t ever forget Oh, love, it takes and gives A fire we burn, a life we live And every word of love we say It’s just proof we’ve let it slip away But love, it’s here to share Not just something for the poet to bear Oh, how foolish to think it’s mine alone Love’s a gift, a seed we’ve sown It grows when we let it breathe When we let it be free, let it be free Oh, love, it takes and gives A fire we burn, a life we live And every word of love we say It’s just proof we’ve let it slip away But love, it’s here to share Not just something for the poet to bear For every lover, for every soul Love is a story waiting to be told
