I bet you've never tasted broken-hearted,
Or wrestled with the pain of letting go
And all your freedom of not needing anybody
Comes at the cost of being alone

So I'll get so close it hurts me, and risk it all again
'Coz the hope of love will find me
And be enough to start it all again

So you spend your days just keeping at a distance
'Coz all the miles and miles will save you from the burn
But to love someone opened arms,
And pure hearted love, is what a heart that cold could never learn

So I'll get so close it hurts me, and risk it all again
'Coz the hope of love will find me
And show me the way to forget

'Coz to deserve a favour is not to saviour what love is all about,
So get yourself out of the way

And don't go saying meet me in the middle,
You know, grace, it doesn't have to compromise
'Coz love says you don't have to lift a finger
No, I'm right where you are, and I'll never leave your side

So I'll get so close it hurts me, and risk it all again
'Coz to love, that's all what you'll need
It's changing everything there is

So please don't call it love if it's just a feeling
Just coincidence, the alignment of your needs
In a world of broken hearts and people leaving,
Love is such a strange disease

'Coz he came and showed us all the worst remaining,
And all we could do was nail him to a tree
But through it all, oh we just kept praying
That his love would find a way to you and me

Yeah, he got so close it killed him,
And he'd do it all again
For the hope that love might find us,
And change all the reasons that we live

And for the chance that we might be with him
