Love burns

Press play.

Salute.

You may still need time to heal

And I’ve just figured it out

Only God 

The Almighty

Can put us

Together again

I now know I need

To kiss that old dream

Goodbye

I once gave you 

My heart and soul

And everything

I once owned

I’ve walked through the night

Seen through it all

Past all the black and white lies

If there was a second chance 

At loving you

I'd take it right away

Starting today

But Father Times 

Played his worn cards

In these passing seconds and minutes

My beloved tears still fall

Have

We gone too far

For

When I look into your deep 

Brown eyes 

I can see there’s

No more common ground

They're telling me it’s over

Yelling me to

Leave

I know how it goes

We can never make it

Too many lies have been

Spoken

Too many sacred oaths

Have been

Broken

It's now what

I should believe

But now I don’t want to leave

After writing and singing this

For your love is all

That I need

To still breathe

Your love is all

That I need

To still breathe
