Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These days, what's left of me, ain't no Prince Charmin'
And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long
We ain't got much, but what we got is all that matters
We're pickin' up the pieces, tryna put 'em back where they belong
[Chorus]
Oh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough, we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the broken-hearted
We gotta finish what we started
Oh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life
[Verse 2]
These days, it seems like there's three sides to every story
There's yours, mine, lately, there's the cold hard truth
Who cares who's wrong or right when we turn out the lights?
We'll find forgiveness when we're in each other's arms tonight
It ain't pretty, but somehow, we always make it through
[Chorus]
Oh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough, we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the broken-hearted
We gotta finish what we started
Oh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life
[Chorus]
Oh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough, we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the broken-hearted
We gotta finish what we started
Oh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life
[Outro]
This is love, this is life
This is love, this is life
