L.O.V.E.
Head Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gave you everything
All the pain life brings
Just to get you to come back to me
I want to give you light
I don't want to ever fight
Stop resisting and come home to me

You're so afraid of love
There's not much time
All the pain inside just makes you want to die

Love me
Don't hate me
You're angry
It's OK
Trust me
Come this way
Live in Eternity

I'm the real drug to take
To numb your heartache
Stop your running and come back to me
I've had it up to here
I cried way too many tears
You'll keep suffering till you come to me

Outside you act so tough
But inside you cry
All the pain inside just makes you want to die

Love me
Don't hate me
You're angry
It's OK
Trust me
Come this way
Live in Eternity

Your soul is mine
Your soul is mine
I don't want to fight
Your soul is mine
Don't be unkind
Your soul is mine
Your soul is mine

I don't lie
I swear you'll never die
Stay alive
When I restore all mankind

Love me
don't hate me
You're angry
It's OK
Trust me
Come this way
Live in Eternity

Come see
You'll soon be




Not guilty
And set free
