Sometimes I hate you
Wonder what I got to lose
Let my frustration just erase the good in you
And if we really called it quits, what would we do?

I wouldn't know how to breathe
You're every damn thing to me!

When we love
We love
Even if it hurts
Even if it kills sometimes

Then know it's real
And we'll know it's worth the fight
When you say we've had enough, and we over giving, over giving, over giving up..
We LOVE!
