You take yours so far from me,
And I can’t see you, no I can’t see you.
And I take mine and I pour it out
To any taker who can bail me out
From this endless dive.
Can you make it stop?
Cause I’m still believing in love.
I’m still believing that love can ease the aching,
I’m still believing that love can heal the breaking.
I’m still believing in love,
Oh, I’m believing that love…
Is the only thing I can give right now,
But I feel so empty and I don’t know how.
I climbed so high, then I belly-flopped,
But I’m still believing in love.
I’m still believing that love can ease the aching,
I’m still believing that love can heal the breaking.
I’m still believing in love
Oh, I’m believing that love…
Can strip me bare, cut to the bone,
Wash me clean, make me whole,
And leave what’s mine, let the other rest.
And I don’t need anybody to fill this emptiness,
Cause the endless dive takes all I’ve got.
That, and believing in love.
I’m still believing that love ends in disaster.
I’m still believing that love is ever after.
I’m still believing in love,
Oh, yeah, I’m believing in love.
