"One Life" lyrics

"One Life"
(feat. U2)

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

You say one love, one life (one life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you, darling, if you don't care for it

Mary

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
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

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

Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Think we had each other
Think we do it again

Love is a temple
Love is a higher love
Love is a temple
Love is a higher love

You asked me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on to what you've got
'Cause all you've got has hurt

One love
One love
One life
You got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters and my brothers

We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One
One
One
One
One
One
One love
One life
