Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the morning I'd awake
And I couldn't remember
What is love and what is hate
The calculation's error
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
What is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter?
Is to love just a waste?
How can it matter?
Oh, oh, oh
[Instrumental]
Oh, oh, oh
[Instrumental]
As the dawn began to break
I had to surrender
The universe will have its way
Too powerful to master
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
What is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter?
Is to love just a waste?
How can it matter?
Oh, oh, oh
