Lyrics:

My love, I’ve lost my faith in everything Tell me you love me anyway

Tell me you love me

My love, I feel myself unraveling

Tell me you love me anyway

Tell me you love me

My love, I feel the darkness on my back Something inside me like a wave

Tell me you love me

Right now I could use a change of heart

Or a kiss before everything falls apart

Can you tell me this love will last forever?

And as the world turns making such a mess

What’s the point of it when everything’s dispossessed?

Can we carry this love across the desert?

My love, I wish I was a photograph Perfect and lovely in a frame

Tell me you love me

My love, my life could be an epitaph Something to write upon my grave Tell me you love me

Right now I could use a change of plans

When it all falls, what’s the use of open hands? Can you tell me this love will last forever?

And as the world burns breathing in the blight What’s the point of it if morning turns into night? Can we carry this love? It’s now or never

I’m gonna love you. I’m gonna love you every day.
