(Verse 1)
If I told you it's gonna hurt
Would you walk in, let me do it first?
In the name of love
When there's madness, poison in your head
I'll hold you in the depths of your despair
All in the name of love
(Chorus)
In the name of love, name of love
I wanna testify, scream in the holy light
You bring me back to life
It's all in the name of love
(Verse 2)
I scare myself with the need for you
No one else can feel it too
Come unraveled when you whisper my name
I'm spinning, feeling insane
I scare myself
(Bridge)
Loving you is my escape
I might be dangerous, but with you I'm safe
Every touch, every kiss, every fight
I'd go through hell just to hold you tight
(Verse 3)
In the darkness of the night
I'd rise up to meet you in the sky
Bathing in the lights, jumping from the heights
I'd fall in the name of love
(Chorus)
In the name of love, name of love
I need you, there's no one else
I'd crawl through hell to keep you close
I scare myself
Life feels like a daydream
But I just can't seem to wake up
Voices whisper in the nighttime
Keeping me up, telling me to give up
I've been in the backseat to my own life
Trying to take control, but I'm lost
I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
You've been running 'round, throwing dirt on my name
But I knew you'd call me up, it's all a game
Attention is all you seek, but not my heart
You just want to make sure we're never apart
I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
Thinking 'bout when you were mine, I'll never forget
You just want attention, I see through your charade
But I won't let you control me, I won't be swayed
I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I just wanna wake up and realize
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't wanna be medicated
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore
You're just want attention, I knew from the start
You're just making sure I'm never getting over you
But I've found my strength, I won't fall apart
I'll break free from this cycle, I'll start anew
I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I just wanna wake up and realize
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't wanna be medicated
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore
Oh-oh, ooh
You've been runnin' 'round
But now I see through your game
I won't let you bring me down
I'll break free from the chains
I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I just wanna wake up and realize
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't wanna be medicated
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore
I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
But I won't let you hold me back, I won't forget
I'll rise above the doubt, break free from the pain
I won't be sad forever, I won't be the same
take these two songs and make a WHOLE NEW SONG out of them
(Verse 1)
If I told you it's gonna hurt
Would you walk in, let me do it first?
In the name of love
When there's madness, poison in your head
I'll hold you in the depths of your despair
All in the name of love
Life feels like a daydream
But I just can't seem to wake up
Voices whisper in the nighttime
Keeping me up, telling me to give up
I've been in the backseat to my own life
Trying to take control, but I'm lost
I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
(Chorus)
In the name of love, name of love
I wanna testify, scream in the holy light
You bring me back to life
It's all in the name of love
I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I just wanna wake up and realize
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't wanna be medicated
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore
(Verse 2)
I scare myself with the need for you
No one else can feel it too
Come unraveled when you whisper my name
I'm spinning, feeling insane
I scare myself
You've been running 'round, throwing dirt on my name
But I knew you'd call me up, it's all a game
Attention is all you seek, but not my heart
You just want to make sure we're never apart
(Bridge)
Loving you is my escape
I might be dangerous, but with you I'm safe
Every touch, every kiss, every fight
I'd go through hell just to hold you tight
(Chorus)
In the name of love, name of love
I need you, there's no one else
I'd crawl through hell to keep you close
I scare myself
I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I just wanna wake up and realize
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't wanna be medicated
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore
(Outro)
I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I'll break free from the doubt, rise above the pain
I'll find my strength, I won't be the same
