Heather Nova - Only Love lyrics

I used to think that I knew what we needed

Just assumed we would always be fine

Now I don't think that we lost the feeling

But we let everything build up inside

It's only love

But love should make us strong

It's only love

But love has been hurting so long

What a challenge, honestly

What a struggle to learn to speak

Who'd have thought that

Pretending was easier

It's only love

But love should make us strong

It's only love

But love has been hurting so long

And its all a part of me, it tears at my heart

Only love

And it's all an eternity, hoping to learn

Only love

There's a part of you I'm trying to reach

Still a part I don't know

Tell me, is devotion a gift or a thief?

Do you wish I'd let go?
