{Verse 1}
When you have to stay
But you’re crying to get away
It’s hard
I know
Everything’s feeling wrong
Constant reminders that your world has gone
Away
I know
But nothing is gone because
Nothing you’ve thrown out ever goes away
Your blood and the stars
Are the same
And nothing will stop this change
So let it go, and proclaim:
True kindness and love can come from
A terrible place
It’s time that I figured out
{Chorus}
When sadness tries to lull me to bed
My love keeps growing, my love keeps growing instead
And when we just can’t seem to get any answers
My love keeps growing, my love keeps growing
{Verse 2}
Taking some time to rest
At the Mayor’s behest
I get
Messed up
And now I’m hunting for guilt in a crisis
Bash in some heads to feel righteous
The rage
The state
But look at this hate I spread
And all the ideas it bred
I gotta let it go, baby
We’re all fighting the same
We’re stuck in a screeching halt
But this ain’t no ground assault
So put ‘em down baby
There is nothing to fight
It’s time that we figured out
{Chorus}
When sadness tries to lull me to bed, yeah
My love keeps growing, my love keeps growing instead
And when they just can’t seem to give any answers
My love keeps growing, my love keeps growing for them
'Cause we’re all running from similar disasters
My love keeps growing, my love keeps growing for you
And when people give so generously, yeah
They keep it going, the love keeps growing
{Bridge}
And when I think of those who’ve died
It’s all of the love they leave behind
{Chorus}
When sadness tries to lull me to bed, yeah
My love keeps growing, my love keeps growing instead
And when they just can’t seem to give any answers
My love keeps growing, my love keeps growing for them
'Cause we’re all running from similar disasters
My love keeps growing, my love keeps growing for you
And when people give so generously, yeah
They keep it going, the love keeps growing
