Analysis of The edge.
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
But I don't love the evil one
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Then I'll change the language of love
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
So I'll find the answers in prayer
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Well, I'll show you the answers up there
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Can't I get it wrong and drole?
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Shouldn't really try that's the ball
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Would have been better if small
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Better not even call
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Your love means nothing at all
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Matters of love make me fall
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
You're trying too hard and it malls.
I'll love you when love doesn't matter
Nice, I won't try either/or.
