Only Love
Written by Glen Burtnik
Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik

When you feel the pain, it's only love, only love

Hell broke loose in my heart today
Left my world in shades of grey
Missing pieces from the past
Swept away like shattered glass

Watch all the lovers
Hurting each other

When you feel the pain, it's only love, only love
It burns like fire and it falls like rain, but it's only love, only love anyway

Street gang leader looking for revenge
Politician offering to be your friend
The backwoods preacher promising a cure
And a president who will prevent the third world war

Watch all the heros
Crumble like zeroes

Only love remains, only love, only love
In the end it's the only game, and it's only love, only love anyway

(All the love in the world)
Defend your heart
(All the love in the world)
Don't let them tear you apart
(All the love in the world)
Your mama should have told you from the very start
About love.

Now I lay me down to bed
Frightened by the things you said

Watch all the lovers
Hurting each other

When you feel the need, it's only love, only love
It shines so bright and it cuts so deep, but it's only love, only love
When you feel the pain, it's only love, only love
It burns like fire and falls like rain, only love, only love
