Only Love Can Set You Free Lyrics

You say that weakness is only
a way to give your heart to the enemy
but if the blow that knocks you out
is the one you don't see
then why are you fighting?
Listen: before you lose the ocean from your tears,
before your face is carved out of stone
before they finally force you to your knees -
only love can set you free.

You were no civilian, you fought every war
and now you don't wanna fear your heart anymore
Now you only do what's good, because you're good
Now you only do what you should, because you're good
Listen: it takes a baby years to know
what's gonna make it stop crying
that what it wants isn't hard to see -
only love can set you free.
I've been so lucky

Now I'm just a normal man, that's true
And I got nothing to brag about, or yes I do
that once I was loved by someone like you
that once I loved someone like you
Listen: what you find when you lose your way
are gunshot signs on a haunted sky
that only point you to a crowded mystery -
only love can set you free.

I've been so lucky
