One
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.
Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now
If you've got someone to blame
You said
One love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
It leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it
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
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
Have you come here for forgivness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play the Jesus
To the leprous in your head?
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing now
It's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
Well, we hurted each other
And we're doin it again
You said
Love is a temple
Love, the higher law
Love is a temple
Love, the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I cant be holdin on
To what you've got
When all you've got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You've got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
