You say love is an ocean
That lovers drown in slow motion
But we can't blame the love
If we caused the boat to sink
I say love is a fire
Left alone it grows tired
And we can't blame the love
For unused gasoline
I am the problem and so are you
We can't go on like this
Somethin' has got to give
So I will give myself to you again
To love is to sacrifice
Somethin' has got to die
So if it keeps our love alive
Let's you and I kill our pride
You say love is the high tide
It ebbs and flows with the moonlight
But I say love's the air
You and I are the sand and sea
We give and take we're the ones to blame
We can't go on like this
Somethin' has got to give
So I will give myself to you again
To love is to sacrifice
Somethin' has got to die
So if it keeps our love alive
Let's you and I kill our pride
Oh love is not an ocean we can blame
No, it is a river we create
No, love is not an ocean we can blame
No, it is a river we create
As we're fully broken
And fully known
And fully chosen even still
That's how we'll make this last
Darlin', forget our past
And I will give myself to you again
And again and again
To love is to sacrifice
Somethin' has got to die
So if it keeps our love alive
Let's you and I kill our pride
