[Verse 1]
She was living in a perfect house
With pictures of smiling faces
But there's a different story told inside
Underneath it all
With the sunglasses and makeup on
Blaming the stairs at Macy's
They all knew (No one even asked; is something wrong?)
So they wait
Now she's gone
[Chorus]
I don't understand the concept of
The power of one is stronger
Why don't people seem to care at all
As long as it's not about them?
I say
I guess we've underestimated love
Or why would we hurt each other?
Don't you find that ironical?
When love is all we need
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
He is living down his sunset strip
Singing the blues for money
It's easy just to look the other way
When you have it all
He's reaching out to find a helping hand
But nobody seems to bother
Hear them say (It's not my problem, so it's not my call)
You're on your own
Through it all
[Chorus]
I don't understand the concept of
The power of one is stronger
Why don't people seem to care at all
As long as it's not about them?
I say
I guess we've underestimated love
Or why would we hurt each other? Yeah
Don't you find that ironical?
When love is all we need
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
When all becomes too real
We have a tendency to be
Too scared to face it
It's breaking my heart to see
When love is all we need
[Chorus]
I don't understand the concept of (All we need)
The power of one is stronger (Oh, oh)
Why don't people seem to care at all
As long as it's not about them?
I say
I guess we've underestimated love
Or why would we hurt each other
Don't you find that ironical
When love is all we need?
Oh yeah
[Outro]
Oh, oh, whoa
Oh yeah
She was living in a perfect house
