  • Do you think I'd give up
    That this might've shook the love from me
    Or that I was on the brink?
    How could you think, darling, I'd scare so easily?
    Now that it's done
    There's not one thing that I would change
    My life was a storm, since I was born
    How could I fear any hurricane?

    If someone asked me at the end

    I'll tell them put me back in it
    Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I'd go through it again, ah, ah
    I would still be surprised I could find you, darling
    In any life
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah

    For all that was said
    Of where we'd end up at the end of it
    When the heart would cease
    Ours never knew peace
    What good would it be on the far side of things?
    It was too soon
    When that part of you was ripped away
    A grip taking hold
    Like a cancer that grows
    Each piece of your body that it takes

    Though I know my heart would break

    I'll tell them put me back in it
    Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I'd go through it again, ah, ah
    I would still be surprised I could find you, darling
    In any life
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah

    I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time)
    Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love)
    Like you and I (like you and I)
    I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time)
    Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love)
    Like you and I (like you and I)
    I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time)
    Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love)
    Like you and I (like you and I) Writer/s: Andrew Hozier-Byrne, Jennifer Decilveo

  • Sue from EuropeThis song came on randomly after a playlist ended on my Spotify. I'm not a particularly emotional person, but I burst into tears and was very moved by this song... I can't get it out of my head, and I welcome it to haunt me day and night. A master piece!
  • Neil Rubin from FloridaThis is an epic and incredible song, moves me every time that I hear it, thank you, Hozier, for proving that there are still great songs coming out of modern artists
