How we grew up was unforgiving
We came from different places
My parents didn't know you were living
Until we were already in the basement
I didn't care about your reputation
No I was ready to meet you there
The secret to love's an unchained heart
I had to let go of my fear
No I wasn't prepared
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
Love was courage
When I got home from work
You'd always be waiting
You knew what you wanted from me
When we were in the sheets
We were something sacred
We let the night set us free
I never wanted you to leave
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
Love was courage
And when we were together
The world didn't matter
We were as close as two people could be
We were together like the rain to the sea
And we made love every night in my dreams
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
Love was courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
It took a lot of courage
Love was courage
