We're sick as a devil and tired as sin
We're closer to love than we ever have been
They told us that fear was a howling wind
And if there was ever a storm, we are weathering it
And all the things we saw, they were not our fault
We're never taught how to love and never got to be young
And if love isn't war, it isn't love anymore
And the heart is a cage if the heart doesn't change
And it's all or nothing now
Or it's all for nothing
My mother found solace in hiding her pain
My father a shepherd, no sheep to his name
And I learned to keep all my feelings inside
With a mother to face and a father to fight
Oh, but if love isn't war
We're closer to love than we ever have been
And if love isn't war, it isn't love anymore
And the heart is a cage if the heart doesn't change
And it's all or nothing now
Or it's all for nothing now
It's all or nothing now
Or it's all for nothing now
Or it's all for nothing now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I thought I heard your voice
Heard it raise above the grave
And I thought I heard your voice
But I heard your voice say
It's all or nothing now
Or it's all for nothing
Or it's all for nothing
