The Only Love I Know
Maybe she’ll stop crying
Maybe he’ll stop yelling
Maybe she’ll tell him she loves him
Maybe he’ll tell her he’s sorry
Maybe they won’t tear each other down
Maybe he’ll set a good example
Maybe she’ll find her strength
Maybe he’ll teach her how to heal
Maybe she’ll show him how to love
Maybe they’ll make it easy to handle
It’s not easy loving you
It’s like being back at home
It’s like I’m the reason
It’s World War III
It’s the only love I know
Maybe I’ll stop crying
Maybe you’ll stop yelling
Maybe I’ll tell you I love you
Maybe you’ll say you’re sorry
Maybe we can build each other up
You were the bad example I followed
I was afraid to say no to you
You didn’t let me heal
I didn’t know how to make you love
This wasn’t easy to handle
She didn’t leave him
I won’t let go of you
He didn’t make her smile
You still make me cry
It’s the only love I know
