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.
First you loved me and I let you in
Made me feel like I was born again
You empowered me, you made me strong
Built me up and I can do no wrong
I let down my guard, I fell into your arms
Forgot who I was, I didn't hear the alarms
Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark
I was blind to your game
You fired a shot in my heart
Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over, I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache, I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up
Love
Lift me up
(Love's gonna lift me up)
Love
Lift me up
I could get caught up in bitterness
But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess
I found freedom in the ugly truth
I deserve the best and it's not you
You broke my heart, but you can't bring me down
I was falling apart, cuz' I was lost, now I'm found
I picked up my crown, put it back in my head
I can forgive, but I will never forget
Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over, I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache, I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
Living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up
Love
Lift me up
(Love's gonna lift me up)
Love
Lift me up
(Love's gonna lift me up)
Lift me up
(Love's gonna lift me up)
Up, up, up, up
Now lift me up, up, up, up
Love's gonna lift me up
(Love's gonna lift me up)
Up, up, up, up
Now lift me up, up, up, up
Love's gonna lift me up
Now lift me up
Now lift me up, up, up, up
Living for love
Living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up
Man is the cruelest animal
At tragedy, bullfight and crucifixions he has felt best on Earth
