Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now, you’ve got someone to blame?

You say “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.”

Did I disappoint you, or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had that, And you want me to go without.

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

Did you come here for forgiveness? Did you come to raise the dead?
Did you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?

Did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now that’s all I’ve got
We’re one but we’re not the same
You know we hurt each other and we’ll do it again

You say “love is a temple, love the higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.”
You ask me to enter and then you’ll make me crawl
But I can’t be holding on to what you’ve got
When all you’ve got is hurt.


One love, one blood, one life, you’ve got to do what you should
One life, with each other; sisters, brothers
One love but were not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other, One
