Lyrics
I?m enraged
Tried to get me, tried to get me off my face
It?s like scratching an itch that?s been around for so long
Like accomplishing that thing you wanted to do
It?s like feeling the breakwaters open on your heartstrings
And stronger than dreaming is the sound of your name
It?s like conquering your fears and taking over out of space
And like a distant memory I?ve come to know your face
Even though the conversations real
And even though the memories I feel
Don?t you wanna lose control
I do
What is love?
What is love, when I?m lying on the floor
When I?m looking in your face and you don?t see me no more
What is love, when I?m walking out the door
When I?m looking in your face and you don?t see me no more
What is Love
I owe it all to you
What is love
I owe it all, I owe it all to you, I owe it all to you
I do
Don?t you wanna lose control
