Cover: What Love Should Be

What Love Should Be

Romantic Power Ballad

The Story

In a world that is spinning out of control, where do we find peace? “What Love Should Be” is a deeply emotional ballad about finding the truth beneath the surface. It is a song for the optimists. For those who believe in miracles (and in pink!). And for the love that turns ashes into gold.

Lyrics

I walk a line between the shadow and the light
Hiding the hunger in the middle of the night
I was born with this need, a fire in my veins
To give all I have, to wash away the stains

They say that beauty is a mask you wear for show
But I’m looking for the truth that lies below
The world is moving fast, it’s spinning out of control
Leaving cracks inside the armor of my soul

But when I look at you, the spinning starts to cease...

Is this what love should be?
Is this the guarantee?
That when the sky is falling down on us
We turn the ashes into gold and trust!

The only thing that’s real, the only cover
Is that the best thing to hold onto... is each other!

I saw the others, how they drift apart
With empty hands and a frozen heart
They speak of impossible things they cannot reach
But “Impossible” is just a word they preach

‘Cause I see the “Possible” inside of you and me
Whatever comes tomorrow, we will see!

Is this what love should be?
Is this the guarantee?
That when the sky is falling down on us
We turn the ashes into gold and trust!

The only thing that’s real, the only cover
Is that the best thing to hold onto... is each other!

They say that happy girls are pretty girls, it’s true
But I only found my smile because of you
I believe in miracles, I believe in pink
I believe in us... even on the brink!

Yeah, I believe in you!

Tell me, is this what love should be?!
Yeah, this is the guarantee!
Let the sky come falling down on us
We turn the ashes into gold and trust!

The only thing that’s real, no other cover
Yeah, the best thing to hold onto... is each other!

Just you and me. That’s what love should be.
