Lyrics[edit | edit source]
VERSE:
They say it's a river that circles the earth
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe
It conquers all
It changes everything
They say it's a blessing
They say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle, and I believe that it is
It conquers all
But it's a mystery
CHORUS:
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And fades away so easily
VERSE:
In this world we've created
In this place that we live
In a blink of an eye, baby, the darkness slips in
Love lights the world
Unites the lovers for eternity
CHORUS:
Love breaks the chain
Love aches for every one of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it into the beauty that remains
BRIDGE:
Look at this place
It was paradise, but now it's dying
I'll pray for love
I'll take my chances that it's not too late
CHORUS:
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And it fades away so easily
CHORUS:
Love breaks the chain
Love aches for every one of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it into the beauty that remains
