“I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.”

“But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all.”

Jim Steinman (1947) American musician

Making Love out of Nothing at All (1983)
Context: I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream.
And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I've got to give it a try.
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break'em
And then I always know the name of the game
But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all.

“Is love so fragile,
And the heart so hollow,
Shatter with words,
Impossible to follow,
You're saying I'm fragile, I try not to be,
I search only, for something I can't see.”

Heaven must have sent you / To save me from the rapture”

“Can you ever forgive me?
I already have.
How could you? I don't deserve it.
That's what makes it love.”
