The star

Love isn't easy
Nobody said it would be
We hurt each other without trying
A little anger, a little pride and I think
It isn't worth the tears we're crying
But then I look at you and all that matters
Is we start over again
When we run out of reasons to build walls
When we're tired of the feelings that divide us all
We realize we've come here to love
It's love we find
At the end of the line
Your arms are open and I've got no defenses
In the light of forgivness
You can find it in your heart and I know
I can find it in mine
When we run out of reasons to build walls
When we're tired of the feelings that divide us all
We realize we've come here to love
When we're tired of the feelings that divide us all
We realize we've come here to love
It's love we find at the end of the line
