Lyrics

You Love Me Back

We're gasoline and fire

A blessing and a curse

If you wrote us down on paper

You'd swear we'd never work

You'd swear we'd never work

You're nothing like I dreamed

Oh and everything I need

In a crazy world

Coming all apart

You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart

When there's no one left telling me the truth

And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to

When I'm way off track

When I hurt like that

You love me back

Like a magical oasis

I could drink until I drowned

You're the answer to a question when no answers can be found

You turn it all around

You take away my shame

And love me through the pain

In a crazy world

Coming all apart

You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart

When there's no one left telling me the truth

And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to

When I'm way off track

When I hurt like that

You love me back

You love me back

You make it all make sense

You take this man

When I don't think I can

And make me all right again

In a crazy world

Coming all apart

You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart

When there's no one left telling me the truth

And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to

When I'm way off track

When I hurt like that

You love me back
