LYRICS

Why do we feel like we need to try

Why do we believe that we need to be somebody else

To feel alive

Why do we make

Why do we keep making the same mistakes

And believing that it won’t make a difference if we try

To break away

I know, I know what you must be thinking

That we are powerless to change things

But don’t, don’t give up

‘Cause we got love, ’cause we got love

I won’t throw my hands up to surrender

‘Cause love is stronger than fire

So don’t, don’t give up

‘Cause we got love, ’cause we got love

Time, don’t you think it’s just a waste of time

When we’re always fighting

Over material trivial things

In this life, yeah

I don’t understand why we don’t get it right

Why do we keep going round and round

At the end of the day

We’ve only got ourselves to blame

I know, I know what you must be thinking

That we are powerless to change things

But don’t, don’t give up

‘Cause we got love, ’cause we got love

I won’t throw my hands up to surrender

‘Cause love is stronger than fire

So don’t, don’t give up

‘Cause we got love, ’cause we got love

(We got love)

(We got love) We got love, we got love

(We got love) We got love

I know, I know what you must be thinking

That we are powerless to change things

But don’t, don’t give up

‘Cause we got love, ’cause we got love

I won’t throw my hands up to surrender

‘Cause love is stronger than fire

So don’t, don’t give up

‘Cause we got love, ’cause we got love

‘Cause we got love
