First you love me, and I let you in Made me feel like I was born again You empowered me, you made me strong Built me up, and I can do no wrong I let down my guard I fell into your arms Forgot who I was I didn't hear the alarms Now I'm down on my knees Alone in the dark I was blind to your game You fired a shot in my heart Took me to heaven and let me fall down Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on Lifted me up, and watched me stumble After the heartache I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love Not gonna stop 'Cause love's gonna lift me up (Love) (Lift me up) Love's gonna lift me up (Love) (Lift me up) I could get caught up in bitterness But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess (Ooh, yes) I found freedom in the ugly truth I deserve the best and it's not you You've broken my heart But you can't break me down (Come on) Not falling apart, once was lost, now I've been found Picked up my crown, put it back on my head I can forgive, but I will never forget Took me to heaven and let me fall down Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on Lifted me up, and watched me stumble After the heartache I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love Not gonna stop 'Cause love's gonna lift me up (Love) (Lift me up) Love's gonna lift me up (Love) (Lift me up) Love's gonna lift me up (Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up) 'Cause love's gonna lift me up, up, up, up Lord lift me up, up, up, up 'Cause love's gonna lift me up, up, up, up Lord lift me up, up, up, up Love's gonna lift me up (Gonna lift me up) Lord lift me up, up, up, up Living for love Living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love Not gonna stop! 'Cause love's gonna lift me up (Love, love, oh-oh)

I hate that this feeling just keeps on coming back It's like a lump in my throat Yeah, you feel like a heart attack Can't even talk to your friends who used to be my friends 'Cause I'm reckless Can't even go to our places 'cause I see your traces Yeah, it's hopeless 'Cause I don't even sleep no more these days No such thing as staying out too late When nobody's at home waiting for me I'm staying up for the feeling It's the reason for living Telling myself I'm doing okay Dancing like I see the light of day Who cares if we make it home by three I'm staying up for the feeling It's the reason for living I pass the day sleeping in 'til the afternoon Just to erase every single thought of you Can't even throw out these photos And memories that we were just making And every shot that I take Is a piece of you I'm still erasing 'Cause I don't even sleep no more these days No such thing as staying out too late When nobody's at home waiting for me I'm staying up for the feeling It's the reason for living Telling myself I'm doing okay Dancing like I see the light of day Who cares if we make it home by three I'm staying up for the feeling It's the reason for living 'Cause I don't even sleep no more these days No such thing as staying out too late When nobody's at home waiting for me I'm staying up for the feeling It's the reason for living Telling myself I'm doing okay Dancing like I see the light of day Who cares if we make it home by three I'm staying up for the feeling It's the reason for living

I felt in need of some loving So I sat down on a wall I tried to find a reason for living But I couldn't find a reason at all So I owned up to my maker And I started to say a prayer I waited for an answer But there wasn't anybody there I thought there should have been someone But I wasn't quite sure who It finished me to find there was no-one That I could take my troubles to So I knelt down by my bedside And I started to say a prayer It was when I asked for nothing I could feel that there was somebody there I'm looking still, but it's easy 'Cos I know which way to go It doesn't matter how long it takes me 'Cos there's someone there to help me who knows All the things that I am after All the loving that I want to share It's so hard but I don't mind 'Cos there really is somebody there I felt in need of some loving So I sat down on a wall I tried to find a reason for living But I couldn't find a reason at all So I owned up to my maker And I started to say a prayer I waited for an answer But there wasn't anybody there
