Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Is it getting better

Or do you feel the same?

Will it make it easier on you now

You've got someone to blame?

[Verse 2]

You said one love, one life

When it's one need in the night

One love, we get to share it

It leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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 5]

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?

[Verse 6]

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 and we're doing it again

[Verse 7]

You say love is a temple, love, the higher law

Love is a 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've got

When all you've got is hurt

[Verse 8]

One love, one blood

One life, you've got to do what you should

One life with each other

Sisters, brothers

[Verse 9]

One life but we're not the same

We get to carry each other, carry each other

One, one

One, one
