Love like You're Alive
Michael Rossback Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's gonna be love tonight
I wish it were grace
I'm going down without a fight
And girls they never change, but they're not the same

Please be careful, hearts are on the wire
Love is fragile, don't give it up this time
Let the fates collide, and love like you're alive

Shame on you for all your games
For giving love a dirty name
Cause it could be in front of you
But you'd give it away
But love won't replace

Please be careful, hearts are on the wire
Love is fragile, don't give it up this time
Let the fates collide, and love like you're alive
Love like you're alive
Love like you're alive

Please be careful, hearts are on the wire
Love is fragile, don't give it up this time




Let the fates collide, love like you're alive
Love like you're alive

Sorry, but i think that the part with 'you think that life has', it's not 'a secret' ,but 'a sequel'. I might as well be wrong, but that's what i hear.
