Lyrics
Better to have loved, ooh
Better to have loved, ooh
Oh, oh (better to have loved)
If the sun went down tomorrow and it never came back
And the city went quiet and we fade to black
Well, I, I won't have a single regret and I, I wouldn't trade a thing
'Cause I never knew I could feel what I, I feel inside of me
Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the Earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved you
You, you (better to have loved), oh
I knew all the time, I was taking a chance
When I stand there at the edge of the cliff, and no one was holding my hand
Well, the, the wind blew strong and the clouds rolled in
And I, I felt us lift off the ground
Yes, I, I bared my soul and I, I dared to go
Knowing one day you might let me down, oh
Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the Earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved you
I gave you everything
But you have said goodbye (ooh)
Oh, said goodbye (ooh)
Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the Earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved (better to have loved)
Better to have loved (better to have loved)
You
La-da-da, ooh, ooh
Ooh
