I see the lovers catching butterfly’s in rain

I watch them hold each other through the joy and pain

They say it’s simple, just a feeling in the chest

But every time I try it leaves me second-guessed

I read the poems, hear the songs that people sing

Still the meaning slips away like a broken ring

I’ve searched the stars, I’ve searched the streets at night

I’m tired of guessing what could make it right

The world moves on but I remain behind

Teach me how to feel what others seem to find

Show me the fire that burnt in the night

Lift me higher where stars shining bright

Break every chain that’s holding my breath

Ease all the pain that’s weighing instead

Light up the dark where my fears come alive

Strike the spark that brings hope back to life

Make me believe when the world turns to gray

Help me breathe when I’m losing my way

I’ve given everything and still I feel alone

I’ve held the hands of strangers in a stranger’s home

I’ve read the letters written in the dead of night

But nothing seems to make the wrong feel right

I see the couples walking hand in hand so slow

I wonder if they really know what I don’t know

The years are passing and I’m running out of time

I need to understand this love of mine

I want to know what love is… call out my name

I want to know what love is… show me the flame

I want to know what love is… answer the call

I want to know what love is… and not to crowl

I want to know…what love is…

Show me the fire that burnt in the night

Lift me higher where stars shining bright

Break every chain that’s holding my breath

Ease all the pain that’s weighing instead

Light up the dark where my fears come alive

Strike the spark that brings hope back to life

Make me believe when the world turns to gray

Help me breathe when I’m losing my way

I want to know what love is…

I want to know… what love is…
