Love has strange ways of pulling us back into her arms even after causing us great pain. Still, when we find ourselves welcoming that wondrous feeling again, we hold back, fearful of where this will lead us to. The heartache of the past continues to haunt us, and all that we remember is how it ended painfully.
Both of us holding back so afraid
To fall in love and lose again
We’ve both been hurt before
So love walked out the door in the end
We try to let go of what happened, but at times, doing so becomes difficult. The memories tend to linger, even as a new love is knocking on the door and willing to stake everything.
Trying to forget the past so many times
It’s hard to make those mem’ries leave
With all we have at stake
We bend until we break ’cause we both believe
If the feeling is real, however, we’ll see it grow and stand the test of time. When it does, then we can’t stop it from becoming stronger. In the name of love, we need to keep it alive and see how beautiful it can turn out to be this time around.
If we stand the test of time
Love will be the lasting kind
We can’t stop the feeling’s too strong
We’ve got the will to hang on
Can’t stop we struggle and fight to survive
Just keeping the love alive
