lyrics

There is a dark side to love
It's what I've always been afraid of
All the pain heartache and misery
It always brings me to my knees

You say that love is so blind
You tell me love makes no rules
Well I concede I know that you're right
But these tears I cry are for you

There is an ocean of love
There is a river of pain
I've got to lay down my fears
And let them wash over me

There is an empty side to life
And it cuts as sharp as any knife
These bloody scars that you see
Are all that love's left of me

I know the distance is great
I know the timing's all wrong
But I've already made one mistake
And what's left when love has gone

There is an ocean of love
There is a river of pain
I've got to lay down my fears
And let them wash over me

The sky is overcast and black
My heart has forgotten how to act
All these nights in this lonely room
I think of nothing but you

You tell me I should be strong
You say it's time to let go
But what about you you're so wrapped up tight
And me I'm left out in the cold

There is an ocean of love
There is a river of pain
I've got to lay down my fears
And let them wash over me

There is an ocean of love
There is a river of pain
I've got to lay down my fears
And let them wash over me

And let them wash over me
