Love As A Last Resort

(album: Girl In The Wind - 1991)

We use tears and silence
We use fear and we use lies
We use walls and doors, we use empty rooms to hide

Oh, tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why when life's so short
We use love, baby, love as a last resort

How come we hurt each other?
We use smiles and sweet deceit
We use promises that we never intend to keep

Oh, tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why when life's so short
We use love, baby, love as a last resort
Oh, we use love as a last resort
Oh

Why is love the wall between us?
Why is love so hard to try?
If it's love we're really after
Tell me why

Oh, tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Oh, tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Oh no, no, no

In this world of strangers
We use friends and we choose sides
We use anything to save our foolish pride

Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why when life's so short
We use love, baby, love as a last resort
Oh, we use love as a last resort
Oh, we use love as a last resort

(We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
Tell me why (We use love as a last resort)
We use love (We use love as a last resort)
We use love (We use love as a last resort)
We use love (We use love as a last resort)
We use love, baby (We use love as a last resort)
Oh
