We Don’t Love the Right Way

Verse 1:

We met somewhere out of time,

Too late for us, too soon to try.

You said “we can’t,” I said “I can’t stop,”

And our hearts took the fall for that.

Pre-Chorus:

Every glance, another promise,

That the world would never let us keep.

Chorus:

We don’t love the right way,

But we love too strong to say goodbye.

We keep hurting, without meaning,

Burning cold beneath the ceiling.

We don’t love the right way,

But I can’t help believing anyway.

Verse 2:

You’re the song I can’t sing out loud,

The fire I can’t put down.

When you laugh, I’m undone,

When you leave, I come undone.

Bridge:

And if someday it all turns clear,

I’ll find you in the light, my dear.

Not right here, not right now,

But somewhere, somehow.

Final Chorus:

We don’t love the right way,

But we love too strong to say goodbye.

We keep hurting, without meaning,

Burning cold beneath the ceiling.

We don’t love the right way,

But that’s our fire, that’s our way.
