Why Is Love So Hard To Find?
Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems that no one´s ever satisfied
Could it be, that underneath,
We´ve all got something to hide?
From the moment we arrive
We want to fill the space inside
We all need to feel alive
If it´s love that keeps us breathin´
Give us something to believe in
Is it fear that makes us blind?
Tell me, why is love so hard to find?
If we hear so much about it
And we can´t go on without it
Let the mystery unwind
Tell me, why is love so hard to find?
All I know is when you find it
Even earth can feel like you´re in heaven
Tell me now, unlock the secret
Help us all to find the hidden treasure
From the moment we arrive
We want to fill the space inside
We all need to feel alive
If it´s love that keeps us breathin´
