Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For some time
I've been waiting for your star to shine
So bright
I should say that it's your right to hurt me, baby
If you wanted to
Oh, but love isn't cruel
[Verse 2]
And for some time
I've been singing you a lullaby
Each night whispering that
It's your right to hurt me, baby
If you wanted to
Oh, but love isn't cruel
[Verse 3]
That's why we got to hold on, baby
We could believe that
This love isn't crazy
This loving could save me
This love isn't crazy
[Verse 4]
You gotta stand where (Stand where) I stand
Who could believe that you're holding my hand now
This loving could save me
This love isn't crazy
[Verse 5]
For some time I've been pillow talking in my head
My heart's vulnerable, but in my bed I want you, baby
And all you put me through
Oh, but love isn't cruel
[Verse 6]
The other night I swear I saw you in my dream (Dream)
We didn't say too much, but I understood everything
That you could hurt me, baby, and I could hurt you too
Oh, but love isn't cruel
[Verse 7]
That's why we got to hold on, baby
We could believe that this love isn't crazy
This loving could save me
This love isn't crazy
[Verse 8]
You gotta stand where (Stand where) I stand
And through the seasons I'm holding your hand now
This loving could save me
This love isn't crazy
[Verse 9]
I want you back
And I feel it bad
(I know it and I feel it, yeah, this love it isn't crazy)
Every day, want you more, we were so insecure
Every day, learning more, we were so immature
[Verse 10]
I want you back
And I feel it bad
(I know it and I feel it, yeah, this love it isn't crazy)
Every day, want you more, we were so insecure
Every day, learning more, we were so immature
[Verse 11]
We got to hold on, baby
We could believe that
This love isn't crazy
This loving could save me
This love isn't crazy
[Verse 12]
You gotta stand where (Stand where) I stand
Who could believe that you're holding my hand now
This loving could save me
This love isn't crazy
