As cold as it seems
When truth brings you heartache
It's hard to believe
When love hits the wall
Love is

My faith in you
When it could have ended
And your trust in me
We could have lost it all

Love is
Everything I need to live
Love is
Everything that we forgive
Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is

Where would I go?
What would I do?
What would it mean
To meet a perfect stranger?
Why do we hurt?
Who draws the line?
When do we learn to look inside
What love is?
So many years
You can't take for granted
You can't take away
All the things you are

Together so long
I know where my heart is
Somewhere in me, oh, yeah
I'll find a way to show

Love is
Every lesson we have learned
Love is
Every soft unspoken word
Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is

Where would I go?
What would I do?
What would it mean
To meet a perfect stranger?
Why do we hurt?
Who draws the line?
When do we learn to look inside?
Everything I need to live
Love is
Everything that we forgive
Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is

(As cold as it seems) Love is
Every lesson we have learned
(When truth brings you heartache) Love is
Every soft unspoken word
(It's hard to believe) Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is

(So many years) Love is
Every lesson we have learned
(We can't take for granted) Love is
Every soft unspoken word
(You can't take away) Love is
Every crime of passion
That's what love is

Together so long
You can't take away
