Can Love Survive
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can our love survive - if it is hurting
Can our love survive - giving up trying

It's falling apart - begging and crawling
It's falling apart - no seeking or hiding

Can our love survive - if it's bleeding inside
Not standing the truth - not getting better
Calling my chances - but not getting better

Friends fall apart - sleeping in one bad
Friends fall apart - hoping for better days

Can our love survive - if it's bleeding inside

Kissing hot kisses - love still missing
Kissing hot kisses - leaving a bad taste

Taking the hard route - the morning thereafter
Trying to stay friends - until the bitter end





Can our love survive - if it's bleeding inside
