Tough Love

Why do they care?
Why do they worry?
It’s our life, not theirs
Yet they’re in such a hurry
To prove that they’re right
And we are just children
In love with night
And to young to know
They want to protect me
From growin’ up wrong
They say you’ll reject me
But our love's too strong

(Chorus)
Tough love will help us
Tough love they can’t break
They can try and tear our dreams apart
But they can’t touch the love that’s in our hearts

Why do they always push us around
How come they keep on putting us down?
They’ve tried every trick from anger to tears
Pulling the strings for so many years

Tough love will save us
Tough love that they can’t break
They can try and tear our dreams apart
But they can’t touch the love that’s in our hearts

Tough love will save us
Tough love that they can’t shake
They can lock me up and hide the key
But that won’t change a thing

(Bridge)
You’d better go now
Somebody’s comin’
I’ll slip out the window
While they’re asleep
I know if we told them
They’d just try and stop us
I’ll leave them a note
And try to explain

(Instrumental break)

(Chorus)
Tough love will save us
Tough love that they can’t break
They can try and tear our dreams apart
But they can’t touch the love that’s in our hearts

Tough love will save us
Tough love that they can’t shake
They can lock me up and hide the key
But that won’t change a thing

We got tough love
We got tough love
We got tough love
Our love is tough
