Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
[Verse 2]
You say, one love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
It leaves you darling
If you don't care for it
[Verse 3]
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
[Verse 4]
Well, it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One, one, one, one
[Verse 5]
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head?
Well, did I ask too much?
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all that I got
We're one but we're not the same
See we hurt each other, then we do it again
[Verse 6]
You say, love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
You ask for me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on
To what you've got
'Cause all you've got is hurt
[Verse 7]
One love
One blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One, one, one, one
One love, one life
