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
