Lyrics

[Intro]
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living
With a broken heart
[Verse 1]
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win, you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah, I fell in love, but now you say it's over
And I'm falling apart, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each other's hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
[Verse 2]
I try to mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love
[Chorus]
It's a hard life
True lovers together
To love and live forever in each other's hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
[Chorus]
It's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
[Outro]
Yes, I did it for love
For love
Oh, I did it for love
