When I gave up, you held up When I ran out, you filled me up When I kept runnin', you kept up When I let you down you lifted me up
This is the way love is
When I couldn't find the words, you understood When I didn't find the time, you were in no hurry When I wouldn't make ends meet, you tied them together When I cheated you kept to the rules
Well, this is the way love is This is the way love is When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection
When I was keepin' it in, you were givin' out When I was losin' out, you'd let me come back When I was holdin' back, you were holdin' on When I was losin' my cool you were keepin' your love warm
Well, this is the way love is This is the way love is When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection
When I kept it all to myself like a miser holds on to his last dime When I closed up myself like a desperate hand on a lifeline Well I was bled, I was dried, all wrapped up in my pride This is the way it is when you're on the wrong side
Well, this is the way love is This is the way love is When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection
