Temporary Love

(Let the love in...)
You’re doing something
Something to my heart
Some kind of motion
that’s pulling it apart
Cos I live on the other side
of the sea
This is temporary, temporary love
Only temporary, temporary love
But something’s moving
in places I’d forgotten
The knives you’re throwing
keep hitting the right spot
I keep on trying to tell my, trying to tell myself
This is temporary, temporary love
Only temporary, temporary love
This is temporary
Gotta keep reminding myself that
This is temporary love (let the love in, let the love in)
Yeah this is one sweet moment
but it ain’t going to last
You’re doing something
underneath my skin
I never meant to
let you so far in
I keep on trying to tell myself
This is temporary, temporary love
Only temporary, temporary love
This is temporary, temporary love
Only temporary, temporary love
Gotta keep reminding myself that
this is one sweet moment
but it ain’t going to last…
