one

one of the few songs of which i was thinking it could easily be not a song with a message from me to someone else but instead be directed at me and from someone somehow, when listening to it. especially after the last few days.

[ "one" / u2 ]

is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
will it make it easier on you now
you got someone to blame

you say
one love
one life
when it's one need in the night
one love
we get to share it
leaves you baby if you don't care for it

did i disappoint you?
or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
you act like you never had love
and you want me to go without

well it's…
too late
tonight
to drag the past out into the light
we're one, but we're not the same
we get to carry each other
carry each other
one

have you come here for forgiveness?
have you come tor raise the dead?
have you come here to play jesus
to the lepers in your head?

did i ask too much?
more than a lot
you gave me nothing, now it's all i got
we're one, but we're not the same
well we hurt each other
then we do it again

you say
love is a temple
love a higher law
love is a temple
love the higher law
you ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
and i can't be holding on to what you got
when all you got is hurt

one love
one blood
one life
you got to do what you should
one life
with each other
sisters
brothers
one life
but we're not the same
we get to carry each other
carry each other

one
