Alexander Webb - Mission Statement lyrics

rate me

I bet you've never tasted broken-hearted, <br />

Or wrestled with the pain of letting go.<br />

And all your freedom of not needing anybody<br />

Comes at the cost of being alone.<br />

<br />

So I'll get so close it hurts me, and risk it all again.<br />

'Coz the hope of love will find me<br />

And be enough to start it all again.<br />

<br />

So you spend your days just keeping at a distance<br />

'Coz all the miles and miles will save you from the burn.<br />

But to love someone opened arms, <br />

And pure hearted love, is what a heart that cold could never learn.<br />

<br />

So I'll get so close it hurts me, and risk it all again.<br />

'Coz the hope of love will find me<br />

And show me the way to forget.<br />

<br />

'Coz to deserve a favour is not to saviour what love is all about, <br />

So get yourself out of the way.<br />

<br />

And don't go saying meet me in the middle, <br />

You know, grace, it doesn't have to compromise.<br />

'Coz love says you don't have to lift a finger.<br />

No, I'm right where you are, and I'll never leave your side.<br />

<br />

So I'll get so close it hurts me, and risk it all again.<br />

'Coz to love, that's all what you'll need.<br />

It's changing everything there is.<br />

<br />

So please don't call it love if it's just a feeling.<br />

Just coincidence, the alignment of your needs.<br />

In a world of broken hearts and people leaving, <br />

Love is such a strange disease.<br />

<br />

'Coz he came and showed us all the worst remaining, <br />

And all we could do was nail him to a tree.<br />

But through it all, oh we just kept praying<br />

That his love would find a way to you and me.<br />

<br />

Yeah, he got so close it killed him, <br />

And he'd do it all again.<br />

For the hope that love might find us, <br />

And change all the reasons that we live.<br />

<br />

And for the chance that we might be with him.
