The question is why, why are we here? To say our hello's and goodbye's and then disappear This beautiful life, what is it for? To learn how to master peace or master war There's only one answer that matters Even if your heart has been shattered Whatever you want, whatever you are after Love is still the answer Love is still the answer Love, love, love, love Love, love, love We all make mistakes, no, we're not perfect yet Maybe God made us all from an accident And the question that sits on everyone's lips Is why should we pick ourselves up and start over again There's only one answer that matters Even if your heart has been shattered Whatever you want, whatever you are after Love is still the answer Love is still the answer Love, love, love, love Love, love, love The question I'll ask at the end of my days Is what did I give and what will I take There's only one answer that matters Even if your heart and your dreams have been shattered Whatever you want, whatever you are after Love is still the answer Love is still the answer Love, love, love, love Love, love, love Love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love Love is still the answer
I think a lot about his divorce and what this Know album was about- falling in love again, getting married, believing… and after all what happened, after all the break up… this song never shatters. It was such a good choice leaving it as the last song of the album, because “even if your heart and your dreams have been shattered… love is still the answer”. And that kind of love is true love.
I wish he'd release an acoustic version of this song. The song is so beautiful with just the voice and guitar- the track sounds too hallmark-ish for me on the album
