lyrics

The Love I Seek

It’s not enough
Whatever you might say it’s all too little too late
I’m counting down to zero but you want to wait
You say it’s safer just to stay

Your words are wearing thin
You’ve used them for so long the doubts are creeping in
Dust them off again, go on, once more with feeling
Try to make us both believe

But you see I want a love that swallows me whole
And I want a love that brands my soul
And I won’t stop till I’ve got it
No I won’t stop till I’ve got it
Can you find me a love that’s thicker than blood
That drowns my doubts in a tropical flood
That claims my body my heart my head

I want a love that leaves me dead

Weigh up the pros and cons
I see your calculation but your answer is wrong
And I’m not an equation or a final exam
Why can’t you love me as I am?

CHORUS

Well they say death do us part and that’s what I intend to do
I won’t be just a glorified friend to you
This kind of love is hard to find and hard to keep
So I’ll keep searching on till I find the love I seek

CHORUS
