I've caused you too much pain I meant to hurt you a little Didn't mean to make you cry So many tears I'll catch them as they fall As an act of love It was all in the act of love You can leave me right now If you've had your fill You can watch my heart bleed Till every drop is spilled It's your turn to take the stage In this act of love It was all in the act of love When a love feels so bad You and I always had the strength to carry on When love makes us so mad All the cruel words we say Show how much we care The love's always there When a love feels so bad You and I always had the strength to carry on When love makes us so mad All the cruel words we say Show how much we care The love's always there, always there When the curtain comes down On this pa**ion play We've taken our bows For another day It always ends the same In this act of love It was all the act of love It was an act of love I'll give you all I have, oh yeah I didn't mean to make you cry Oh, you made me cry So many tears Oh, so many tears I meant to hurt, I meant to hurt I only meant to hurt you a little Gotta understand it's an act of love It was an act of love Ooh It was an act of love
