Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?

Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?

[Chorus]

You say, "One love, one life"

When it's one need in the night

One love, we get to share it

Leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it

[Verse 2]

Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without

[Chorus]

Well, it's too late tonight

To drag the past out into the light

We're one, but we're not the same

We get to carry each other, carry each other

One

[Verse 3]

Have you come here for forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead?

Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?

[Chorus]

Did I ask too much, more than a lot?

You gave me nothing, now it's all I got

We're one, but we're not the same

Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again

[Bridge]

You say, "Love is a temple, love a higher law"

Love is a temple, love the higher law

You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl

And I can't be holding on to what you got

When all you got is hurt

[Outro]

One love, one blood

One life, you got to do what you should

One life with each other

Sisters, brothers

One life, but we're not the same

We get to carry each other, carry each other

One

One
