Lyrics

Let me tell you son about a lesson I learned.
If I could have learned it young, I might have saved a lot of hurt.
I’m gonna tell you a story about heartache and pain.
Hope it never happens to you, I’m gonna tell you just the same.
You see I’ve made some big mistakes and I’m really not too proud.
And even as I say these words it’s hard to say them out loud.
I know you see me struggle, and I know you’re hurtin’ too.
It’s a hell of a way to learn, just what love can do.
Love fades, love dies, love will tear you up inside.
Bring you to your knees, strip away your pride.
Love fades, goes away, makes you fight thru every day.
Leaves you standing in the cold, and stranded in the rain.
Love fades…
The hardest thing to do is to keep love in your heart.
When it’s been completely shattered, torn and ripped apart.
Be careful of your walls they’re so hard to bring down.
You might find yourself sitting, all alone, all alone.
You can’t trust your heart to always be on your side.
So you better buckle up, cause you gotta take this ride.
Love fades, love dies, love will tear you up inside.
Bring you to your knees, strip away your pride.
Love fades, goes away, makes you fight thru every day.
Leaves you standing in the cold, and stranded in the rain.
Love fades…
Now I’m not saying, we should never try.
I’m just saying, we won’t always get it right.
Some will rise, others fall upon the sword.
But when we get it right, love is our greatest reward.
Then love will flow, love will grow, love will lift your soul.
It’ll still bring you to your knees, but it’ll give you wings to soar.
Love stays, finds a way, helps you fight thru every day.
Brings you in from the cold, gives you shelter from the rain.
Love stays. It finds a way.
If your heart is true and you can first love you.
