I've caused you too much pain
I meant to hurt you a little
Didn't mean to make you cry
So many tears
I'll catch them as they fall
As an act of love
It was all in the act of love

You can leave me right now
If you've had your fill
You can watch my heart bleed
Till every drop is spilled
It's your turn to take the stage
In this act of love
It was all in the act of love

When a love feels so bad
You and I always had the strength to carry on
When love makes us so mad
All the cruel words we say
Show how much we care
The love's always there

When a love feels so bad
You and I always had the strength to carry on
When love makes us so mad
All the cruel words we say
Show how much we care
The love's always there
Always there

When the curtain comes down
On this passion play
We've taken our bows
For another day
It always ends the same
In this act of love
It was all the act of love
It was an act of love
I'll give you all I have, oh yea
I didn't mean to make you cry
Oh, you made me cry
So many tears
Oh, so many tears
I meant to hurt, I meant to hurt
I only meant to hurt you a little
Gotta understand it's an act of love
It was an act of love
Oooh It was an act of love
