Wheel of Love
Honestly tell me
Is it better to love
Is it better to break
Than to be just one
Honestly tell me
Is it better to lose
Everything I own
And everything I am
And give it to you
This wheel of love is
Turning slowly
Oh, you love and you lose
Or you live your life lonely
This wheel of love
Is dangerous machinery
If you're caught in it
You won't come out the way that you
Used to be
No, you'll look at yourself
And be frightened to find
That somebody else
Took a piece of your mind
You were crushed by the wheel
And re-shaped by the gear
Changed by love
Honestly tell me
Is it better to believe
That good exists
On some far out shore
And set your course
For the open sea
Honestly tell me
Is it better to dream
And be dashed again
Against the cliffs
And cast under the waves again
This wheel of love is
Turning slowly
Oh, you love and you lose
Or you live your life lonely
And what goes up
Oh, you know it'll
All come crashing down so you're
Coming down with it
Or you're miles away
With your feet on the ground
And you know that you're safe
All alone by yourself
Because you're not feeling pain
Caused by anyone else
You're not crushed by the wheel
You're not caught in the gears
You're not hurt by love
I won't take this burden from you
Only ride with you along the way
You can sail this sinking vessel
If you set your sight above the waves
This wheel of love is
Turning slowly
Oh, you love and you lose
Or you live your life lonely
And what you give
Oh you know, it
Might not return to you, so you
Give it up freely, babe
Or you guard it so tight
That no one can get through
In the dark of your eyes
In the shadow of your wall
You don't hear the cries
Of the people as they fall
From the top of the wheel
And are crushed by the gears
Alive in love
Dreaming and trying
Believing and buying and
Hurt by love
Broken and frightened
Loving and dying
Remade by love
Is it better to love
Is it better to break
Than to be just one
Honestly tell me
Is it better to lose
Everything I own
And everything I am
And give it to you
This wheel of love is
Turning slowly
Oh, you love and you lose
Or you live your life lonely
This wheel of love
Is dangerous machinery
If you're caught in it
You won't come out the way that you
Used to be
No, you'll look at yourself
And be frightened to find
That somebody else
Took a piece of your mind
You were crushed by the wheel
And re-shaped by the gear
Changed by love
Honestly tell me
Is it better to believe
That good exists
On some far out shore
And set your course
For the open sea
Honestly tell me
Is it better to dream
And be dashed again
Against the cliffs
And cast under the waves again
This wheel of love is
Turning slowly
Oh, you love and you lose
Or you live your life lonely
And what goes up
Oh, you know it'll
All come crashing down so you're
Coming down with it
Or you're miles away
With your feet on the ground
And you know that you're safe
All alone by yourself
Because you're not feeling pain
Caused by anyone else
You're not crushed by the wheel
You're not caught in the gears
You're not hurt by love
I won't take this burden from you
Only ride with you along the way
You can sail this sinking vessel
If you set your sight above the waves
This wheel of love is
Turning slowly
Oh, you love and you lose
Or you live your life lonely
And what you give
Oh you know, it

Or you guard it so tight

In the shadow of your wall
You don't hear the cries

From the top of the wheel
And are crushed by the gears
Alive in love
Dreaming and trying
Believing and buying and
Hurt by love
Broken and frightened
Loving and dying
Remade by love
