This Thing Called Love Lyrics – Stephen Sanchez

[Verse 1]
What more could I do
If love means what I feel for you?
Won’t you say that you love me?
For, in your eyes, I know this to be true

[Verse 2]
Swear that you flew
The moment I held on to you
Why’d you let go of me
When I know that you’re falling too?

[Chorus]
Just tell me that we’ll never be
And tell me that I’m too blind to see
You don’t love me, let me hold you again
How can I be friends with this thing called love?

[Post-Chorus]
Love
Love
Love

[Verse 3]
It’s no use for me
I’m left with nothing to do
About us, still I don’t understand
Why each night I died, I was held in your hands

[Chorus]
So just tell me that we’ll never be
And tell me that I’m too blind to see
You don’t love me, let me hold you again
How can I be friends with this thing called love?

[Instrumental Break: Piano]

[Chorus]
Tell me that we’ll never be
And tell me that I’m too blind to see
You don’t love me, let me hold you again
How can I be friends with this thing called love?

[Post-Chorus]
Love
Love
