Your affection, tender as a fading tide
And over distance, it always feels magnified
But when I try to bring you closer you get colder once again

Would you give it up for me?
Would you give it up for me?
I wanna know your love is out there on the front with mine

One way love will leave us black and blue inside
One way love will leave us black and blue inside

And I'm wide open, maybe it's bad that you know that too
But I'm not playing, cause who would wanna be so cruel?
If I gave you all the space you need would we be closer once again?

One way love will leave us black and blue inside
One way love will leave us black and blue inside
One way love is something I won't recognize
Cause one way love will leave us black and blue inside

(When I try to bring you closer, you get colder once again...)

One way love will leave us black and blue inside
One way love will leave us black and blue inside
One way love is something I won't recognize
Cause one way love will leave us black and blue inside

One way love, one way love, one way love
