Love, is this the end of us
Cause I've not felt you for so long
And when you've got no hand to hold
The summer nights can turn to cold
Now I see my breath in the air
It hangs there like unanswered prayer
Is this the lesson that I'm here to learn
That love's not made to build but burn

So if this is the end of us
I'd thank you for the memories
But all of ours are still boxed up
Cause you're afraid to let them out
Into the open air where we
Could embrace all this love we share
But all your fears have tied us down
And kept us from the heights we'd dare

I've been loving you my dear for so long
That I can't turn it off
I don't know how to
Love is such a stubborn foe
Look how it holds on tight and it won't let go
I can't stop loving you
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how

But if this is the end of us
I'd like to lodge a formal complaint
To the head of all the universe
For assigning me to a broken dream
For I will give you all I have
But you'll hold it for a while then just hand it back
Is this the lesson that I'm here to learn?
That loves not made to build but burn

That loves not made to build but burn
That loves not made to build but burn
Our loves not made to build but burn
Our loves not made to build but burn
Our loves not made to build but burn
Our loves not made to build but burn

I've been loving you my dear for so long
That I can't turn it off
I don't know how to
Love is such a stubborn foe
Look how it holds on tight and it won't let go
I can't stop loving you
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
