Brother, brother
Sister, sister

It's the loneliness that's the killer

So you want
To be free
To live your life,
The way you want to be
Will you give,
If we cry?
Will we live,
Or will we, die?
Oh

Jaded hearts heal with time
Shoot that love (oh whoa whoa whoa)
So we can
Stop the bleeding, oh

There's no other love, there's no other love, there's no other love
There is no other love, no other love like ours

There is no other love, no other love like ours
There's no other love, there's no other love, there's no other love
