Thao, Mirah, Tune-Yards - Eleven lyrics

When love is love, don't let it go away
My love is love, it won't go away
Don't ever let anybody go
Why's it so hard to hold
How come I never know?

I'm the travelling gentleman
I knew I would come back again
I swear our days were not lost on me
(Please)
So sorry that I couldn't put the past away
I was hopin'
Hopin' I could hold you all the same
But, I was broken, I was like a paper weight
Holding nothing down from getting blown away

When we go we're not gonna take it all away
We'll just have to learn to give it
In a different kind of way

I know about the human heart
I have been watching yours
Forgive me for the mess I left
It rained and then it poured
Too sweet for my mouth too soft for my hands

So sorry that I couldn't cut the past away
I was broken
Hopin' but I held you all the same
Caught up in the corner
Hear me calling out your name
Oh, won't you help me keep it open? Hell
You want to stay

When love is love, don't let it go away
My love is love, it won't go away
Don't ever let anybody go
Why's it so hard to hold
How come I never know?

When love is love, don't let it go away
My love is love, it won't go away
Don't ever let anybody go
Why's it so hard to hold
How come I never know?
When love is love, don't let it go away
My love is love, it won't go away
When love is love, don't let it go away
My love is love, it won't go away
