It is a labor of love
That which I work

You ignore me
And you don't respond

I say, I love you
And you seem hollow
Take it lightly
That's all you can do

So afraid to know that is real
Thus you shunt me aside

Is this thing one sided!
No, I know that you need me
I want you to need me
I need you to need me

It is a labor of love
Which I will keep braking my back for

For some it takes a lifetime to fully fall in love
And to find a place to belong

Call me naive
But I think I've found a place of my own
In your heart

It is a labor of love
Which I will sweat through tears and blood

I wont rest until I've made you understand
There's only place for you in my heart

No matter if it brakes my heart
It is a labor of love
Which I will work over for your heart
