[Verse 1:] First you loved me and I let you in Made me feel like I was born again You empowered me, you made me strong Built me up and I could do no wrong I let down my guard, I fell into your arms Forgot who I was, I didn't hear the alarms Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark I was blind to your game You fired a shot at my heart
[Pre-Chorus:] Took me to heaven, let me fall down Now that it's over, I'm gonna carry on Lifted me up, and watched me stumble After the heartache, I'm gonna carry on
[Chorus:] Living for love, I'm living for love Not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love, I'm living for love Not gonna stop Your love's gonna lift me up
[Dance break:] Love, lift me up Love's gonna lift me up Love, lift me up
[Verse 2:] I could get caught up in bitterness But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess I found freedom in the ugly truth I deserve the best and it's not you You've broken my heart, but you can't break me down I've fallen apart, what was lost, now I'm found I picked up my crown, put it back on my head I can forgive, but I will never forget
[Pre-Chorus:] Took me to heaven, let me fall down Now that it's over, I'm gonna carry on Lifted me up, and watched me stumble After the heartache, I'm gonna carry on
[Chorus:] Living for love, I'm living for love Not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love, I'm living for love Not gonna stop Your love's gonna lift me up
[Dance break:] Love, lift me up Love's gonna lift me up Love, lift me up
[Bridge:] Love's gonna lift me up Lift me up... Love's gonna lift me up Up-up-up-up Lord lift me up-up-up-up Love's gonna lift me up Up-up-up-up Lord lift me up-up-up-up Love's gonna lift me up Lord lift me up-up-up-up
[Chorus:] Living for love, I'm living for love Not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love, I'm living for love Not gonna stop Your love's gonna lift me up
