There's a danger of getting so close to you
There comes a time, when the walls fade away,
And when love turns to bitter blue,
Sometimes it feels like it's hard to stay

Last night we went to bed angry,
We didn't mean what we said
Seems we never get past forgiveness,
We try to hide, we never learn,
To swallow our pride

On the downside of love,
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate
On the downside of love,
When you're misunderstood, 'cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good

Baby life has no guarantee,
Never knowing where love's gonna lead
Even though you're a part of me,
We have to deal with our pain separately

Sometimes we both feel like victims,
With no easy way out, no, no
Somehow we stand by each other,
When we're desperate, and drowning in,
The shadows of doubt

On the downside of love,
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate
On the downside of love,
'Cause when it hurts you, it hurts you so good

The times we share the tenderness,
Are the times that keep us alive
You get in my face, you rough me up,
But baby you know,
Can't hurt me 'nough, to give you up,
And make me let go
Make me let go oh no, no

When you're on the downside of love,
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate
On the downside of love,
When you're misunderstood, 'cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good

Downside of love,
Love's just a long, long road baby
Yes there's a down side of love,
Stand by my side baby
When you're on the downside of love,
No, no, no
Downside of love,
'Cause it's a long, long road baby
Downside of love
