I’d tell my self you don’t mean a thing,
and what we got, got no hold on me.

I tell my self I don’t care that much,
but I feel like I die
till I feel your touch.

on ly love can hurt like this.
On ly love can hurt like this.
Must have been a dead ly kiss,
on ly love can hurt like this.
On ly love can hurt like this.
Your kiss es burn in to my skin,
on ly love can hurt like this.
