It's Your Love
Buffy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ussed to think that i knew what we needed
Just assumed we would always be fine
Now i don't think that we lost the feeling
But we let everything build up inside

It's only love
but love should make us strong
it's only love
but love has been hurting so long

What a challenge, honesty
What a struggle to learn to speak
Who'd have thougt that
Pretending was easier

It's only love
but love should make us strong
it's only love
but love has been hurting so long

And it's all a part of me, it tears at my heart
only love
And it's all an eternity, hoping to learn
only love

There's a part of you i'm trying to reach
Still a part i don't now
Tell me is devotion a gift or a thief?
Do you wish i'd let go?

It's only love
but love should make us strong
It's only love
but love has been hurting so long

only love
only love
only love
only love
