One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You tell me that your tears are here to stay
But I know you're only hiding
And I just wanna see you
You tell me that you're hurt and you're in pain
And I can see your head is held in shame,
But I just wanna see you smile again
But don't burn out
Even if you scream and shout
It'll come back to you
And I'll be here for you
Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark
I wish that I could take you to the stars
I'd never let you fall and break your heart
And if you wanna cry or fall apart
I'll be there to hold you
You tell me that you hurt, it's all in vain
But I can see your heart can love again
And I remember you laughing
So let's just laugh again
But don't burn out
Even if you scream and shout
It'll come back to you, back to you
Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark
And you don't need
You don't need to worry
And you will see it's easy to be loved
I know you wanna be loved
Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark
Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down
We will find a way through the dark
