[Verse 1]
First you love 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
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love, I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
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
That have 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
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love, I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
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 help me up-up-up-up
Love's gonna lift me up
Up-up-up-up
Lord help me up-up-up-up
Love's gonna lift me up
Lord help me up-up-up-up

[Chorus]
Living for love, I'm living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love, I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up

[Outro]
(Love, love, love, oh-oh)
