Love Under Pressure
James Blunt Lyrics

I gave it all
I put everything into this relationship

But it's not enough
But it wasn't enough to make it work

I feel it all
I'm feeling everything

Too much
Too intensely, too strongly

I reach for the stars
I aim high

But they let me down
But I often fall short of my goals

I play the game
I try to make this work

And you always knew
But you always knew deep down

That I couldn't play
That I couldn't handle this relationship

Without you
Without your support and guidance

Yeah, I hate to lose
I hate losing

I'm just too proud
I'm too proud to give up

But I'm not giving up, no
But I'm not ready to give up yet

This time around
Maybe things will be different this time

I can't believe we're giving up
I can't believe we're ending things

(Love under pressure)
(Our love was under a lot of pressure)

We only need the two of us
We only needed each other

(Love under pressure)
(Our relationship was under a lot of pressure)

I feel your pain from my mistakes
I can feel your pain from the mistakes I made

It's how it breaks
It's what caused our relationship to fall apart

This love's under pressure
Our love was under a lot of stress and tension

Have we lost our senses?
Did we lose our minds?

Are we going mad?
Have we lost control?

What happened here is too sad
What happened here is really heartbreaking

I bleed for a dream
I sacrificed a lot for a dream

But it's not mine to have
But it seems that dream wasn't meant for me

Where did you go
Where did you disappear to?

Without a care?
Without any regard for our relationship?

You didn't show
You didn't communicate or make an effort

I'm still there
I'm still here waiting for you

Yeah, how can it be?
How did it come to this?

You do the maths
You figure it out

The fire that burned
The passion that we had

Has turned into ash, so
Has faded away completely
