When I gave up, you held up
|
When I ran out, you filled me up
|
When I kept runnin', you kept up
|
When I let you down you lifted me up
|
|
This is the way love is
|
|
When I couldn't find the words, you understood
|
When I didn't find the time, you were in no hurry
|
When I wouldn't make ends meet, you tied them together
|
When I cheated you kept to the rules
|
|
Well, this is the way love is
|
This is the way love is
|
When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection
|
|
When I was keepin' it in, you were givin' out
|
When I was losin' out, you'd let me come back
|
When I was holdin' back, you were holdin' on
|
When I was losin' my cool you were keepin' your love warm
|
|
Well, this is the way love is
|
This is the way love is
|
When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection
|
|
When I kept it all to myself like a miser holds on to his last dime
|
When I closed up myself like a desperate hand on a lifeline
|
Well I was bled, I was dried, all wrapped up in my pride
|
This is the way it is when you're on the wrong side
|
|
Well, this is the way love is
|
This is the way love is
|
When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection
|
