Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you made me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you made me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
That person is beeing sarcastic, cause the other one only thiks about himself and its always searching for exuses in her for the leave...
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
He is seeking for comfort in his ex ( maybue its a ,,she " -it doesnt matter) and trying to make love look like something less and if you dont responde -you cant expirience it...
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
She is beeing sarcastic again. ,,You act..." means that he doesn´t show love to her and by fooling her by coming back he doesnt let her move on
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
She is a bit tired of going throug thair past again. Thay are soulmates ( Plato- 2 soulmates are one), but thay are diferent people...and by ,,carrying each other" , she suffers and cant go on with her life
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
She is asking him , again sarcasticly if he wants her to forgive, ,,raise her from the dead" or is he just trying to calm his councies...
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
Its qute clear what is it about. She changed, and there is no love left to give
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
Again, thair just diferent, except she can now hurt him to by rejecting him...
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
He is trying to convince her that he loves her, by using well known frases, but she reminds him that he allready did that once and made her crawl in the temple of love. She doesnt want that for herself anymore cause she only gets hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
Here she referes to the whole world, to stop being egocentric and start giving thamselves to each others...
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
For me this is Bono or the main character asking his former loved one how they are doing, sounding caring, and then criticizing her for blaming him for what happened.
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Here he talks about how if you don't put in an effort, love will leave you.
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Bono asks his former loved one if he didn't suit her, if he just didn't feel right for her. Then he accuses her of being inexperienced with love and possibly sabotaging him trying to get a new relationship after theirs.
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
Now he's saying she can no longer use what happened in their past to use against him, and that the past is the past, they have new issues to deal with.
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
He points out how they might've been together, but they never truly had anything.
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
He now sees she's come back to him, trying to rekindle the relationship. When he says "Have you come to raise the dead" that is her trying to bring back their "dead" relationship. She tries to heal their sick status. It is represented by Jesus healing lepers (sick people).
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
Bono has responded by asking if what he did (apparently HE did something) was so bad. But then he says the little she gave him is all he has left.
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
