I’ve tried to hold this back so long 
And we’re always such a good thing
When it’s gone
It be alright,
If we just left our heads tonight 

Take me away from this old game 
Saying that we’re both too much the same 

It be alright,
If I just stayed with you tonight 
And before I go,
Will I ever see you again 
She said love only knows 

Love only knows 
If we’ll give into fear
And chose life undercover 
She said love only knows 
If it’s special enough
Then we’ll chose one another 
We’ll chose each other 

You were the secret
I loved to keep 
The name I would only sing in my sleep 
Would it be alright,
If we just lose ourselves tonight 
And if you let go,
Will you reach out again 
She said love only knows 

Love only knows 
If we’ll give into fear
And chose life undercover 
She said love only knows 
If it’s special enough
Then we’ll chose one another 
We’ll chose each other 

And I can’t breathe without you and I don’t 
And I can’t live without love and I won’t 
And I won’t 

Love only knows 
If we’ll give into fear
And chose life undercover 
She said love only knows 
If it’s special enough
Then we’ll chose one another 

Love only knows, 
How your arms pull me in
Like the tide pulls me under 
She said love only knows 
Just how long we [bad word] 
Before we lose each other 
And we need each other 

And I can’t live without you and I won’t
