[Verse 1]
I'm so afraid of saying something wrong
There's a real danger in saying nothing at all
That I'll go back to the rabbit and drink, yeah
Half-cut, fired up, say what I think
That you're funny, interesting, too
That the air warms up when you walk in the room
That I still dream about the night we met
How I don't mean it now as I meant it then

[Chorus]
What could be as lonely as love?
What could ever hurt this much?
What if you're the only one?

[Verse 2]
So let me in, let me in from out of the cold
I'm okay, I'm doing fine -- the greatest lie ever told
Even I don't recognize reflections of mine
When I'm the next call down the emergency line, I'll say

[Chorus]
What could be as lonely as love?
What could ever hurt this much?
What if you're the only one?
What could be as lonely as love?
[Bridge]
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean

[Chorus]
What could be as lonely as love?
What could ever hurt this much?
What if you're the only one? (It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean)
What could be as lonely as love? (It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean)

[Bridge]
Oh, it's a cruel tide, a violent ocean (What could be as lonely as love?)
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean (What could be as lonely as love?)
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean

[Outro]
What could be as lonely as love?
What could be as lonely as love?
