Richie Sambora - Downside Of Love Lyrics

There's a danger of getting so close to you
There comes a time when the walls fade away
And when love turns to bitter blue

Sometimes it feels like it's so hard to stay
Last night we went to bed angry
We didn't mean what we said
Seems we never get past forgiveness

We try to hide, we never learn
To swallow our pride
On the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate
We just can't relate
On the downside of love

When you're misunderstood
'Cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good

Baby, life has no guarantee
Never knowing where love's gonna lead
Even through you're a part of me
We have to deal with our pain separately

Sometimes we both feel like victims
With no easy way out not, no, no
Somehow we stand by each other
When we're desperate and drowning in

The shadows of doubt
On the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate
We just can't relate

On the downside of love
'Cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good

The times we share the tenderness
Are the times that keep us alive
You get in my face, you rough me up
But baby you know

Can't hurt me 'nough, to give you up
And make me let go
Make me let go, oh no, no

When you're on the downside of love
Where the love turns to hate
We just can't relate
On the downside of love

When you're misunderstood
'Cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good
Downside of love

Love's just a long, long road baby
Yes there's a downside of love
Stand by my side baby
When you're on the downside of love
No, no, no

Downside of love
'Cause it's a long, long road baby
Downside of love
