"I loved you for a long long time,
I know this love is real.
It doesn't matter how it all went wrong,
that don't change the way I feel.
And I can't believe that time's
gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of.
There ain't no cure,
there ain't no cure,
there ain't no cure for love.

I'm aching for you baby,
I can't pretend I'm not.
I need to see you naked
in your body and your thought.
I've got you like a habit
and I'll never get enough.
There ain't no cure,
there ain't no cure,
there ain't no cure for love.

I see you in the subway
and I see you on the bus.
I see you lying down with me,
I see you waking up.
I see your hand, I see your hair,
your bracelets and your brush.
And I call to you, I call to you,
but I don't call soft enough.
There ain't no cure,
there ain't no cure,
there ain't no cure for love.

I walked into this empty church,
I had no place else to go,
when the sweetest voice I ever heard
whispered to my soul:
I don't need to be forgiven
for loving you so much.
It's written in the scriptures,
it's written there in blood.
I even heard the angels
declare it from above.
There ain't no cure,
there ain't no cure,
there ain't no cure for love."

-Leonard Cohen
