Temporary Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're afraid to need someone
'Cause you've been burned
You've been burned
You've been burned
Love is good until it's gone
That's what you've learned
What you've learned
What you've learned
You don't have to hide your love away, yeah
I know that I'm gonna make mistakes, but
Pleading on somebody isn't easy
I'll do what I can to make you see it
This is not
A temporary love
This is not
A temporary love
Now your heart is in my hands
I won't give it up
This is not
A temporary love
You may not think I know the difference
But I do
But I do
But I do
I feel the gravity between us
And you can too
You can too
You can too
We don't have to hide our love away, yeah
Both of us are gonna make mistakes 'cause
Leaning on somebody's never easy
But look at me and tell me you don't see it
This is not
A temporary love
No, this is not
A temporary love
Now your heart is in my hands
And I won't give it up
This is not
A temporary love
Love
Love
Love
When the world around is caving in
And the will that keeps on changing
Take my hand and let it spin
We'll hold still
This is not
A temporary love
This is not
A temporary love
Now my heart is in your hands
Please don't give it up
This is not
A temporary love
This is not
A temporary love
No, this is not
A temporary love
Now your heart is my hands
Please don't give it up
This is not
A temporary love
This is not
A temporary love
