Ben Platt - Temporary Love Lyrics






You're afraid to need someone
'Cause you been burned, you been burned, you've been burned
Love is good until it's gone
That's what you learned, what you've learned, what you've learned

You don't have to hide your love away and
I know that I'm gonna make mistakes but
Leaning on somebody isn't easy
I'll do what I can to make you see, oh

This is not a temporary love
This is not a temporary love
Now your heart is in my hands
I won't give it up
This is not a temporary love

You may not think I know the difference
But I do, but I do, but I do
I feel the gravity between us
And you can too, you can too, you can too

We don't have to hide our love away and
Both of us are gonna make mistakes 'cause
Leaning on somebody's never easy
But look at me and tell me you don't see, oh

This is not a temporary love
No, this is not a temporary love
Now your heart is in my hands
I won't give it up
This is not a temporary love

When the world around is caving in
And the winds, well they keep on changing
Take my hand and let it spin
We'll hold still

This is not a temporary love
This is not a temporary love
Now my heart is in your hands
Please don't give it up
This is not a temporary love

This is not a temporary love
No, this is not a temporary love
Now your heart is in my hands
Please don't give it up
This is not a temporary love

This is not a temporary love

    All Romantic Love is 'Temporary Love' True love is not romantic OR sexual . . . take sex out of MOST relationships and you have nothing. .. . time to mature in our love. . one for another. . .

    Eduardo de argentina sos un genio

  17. G.... B....

    It is so important what Ben is doing in all of his music videos. In "Older," there is depictions of people breaking stereotypes, but it takes a minute to register that what they're doing is abnormal. In this one, he shows couples from all walks of life, not all same sex too, proving that you don't need to break down one group to raise the opinions of another. Ben, you have my entire heart right now.

  18. A.... ....

    lowkey jeep ad

    😂😂❤❤

  33. h.... h....

    who hurt you-

  34. R.... D....

    I really don’t want to offend anyone, but does any other person of color feel slightly bothered when referred to as a POC. I know people don’t mean to hurt or anger people of color by referring to us as POCs, but it feels kind of as if we’re being reduced to some initials instead of people. I know people use this mostly in a positive light; for example,"I love how many POCs there are in this show!" I get that, but I think it would be better to refer to us as people of color, because that’s what we are, not a shortened version of it

  35. A.... F....

    Wow. Excelent.

  36. N.... N....

    It's a Jeep thing.

  37. S.... S....

    honestly...how knows this guy always how to make me cry with his increadibly wounderful songs

    Pls keep going Ben!

  43. B.... J....

    Ben I need you to know that your album has been one of the few things keeping me going these past few months. When I listen to your songs it's like you wrote them about me. Nothing hurts more than a broken heart.

  44. N.... A....

    In the beginning the instrumental reminds me so much of This Is Me from The Greatest Showman

  45. m.... q....

    I like his sadness, that's what inspires most masterpieces

  46. P.... ....

    Sincerely, me.

  47. A.... A....

    Ben, I met you from Dear Evan Hansen. You changed my life starting there. But now theres more of you in my life and your someone I really look up to. Thank you. Never change.

  48. K.... ....

    A temporary *LUH*


    Indeed, Ben, it is.

  49. B.... M....

    I will never hide my forever love for you Ben ♥

  50. M.... ....

    "Jeep"

  53. M.... L....

    Ben is so 🌈🏳️‍🌈 I can't- my sweet baby child

  54. A.... R....

    I love this video and I can't stop crying

  55. a.... ....

    god dammit, why is he so fine? loving his beard for strange obsessive reasons *googles him shirtless*

  56. g.... r....

    I loved Ben Platt and his voice so much but could never relate to his music, but now I am so happily in love and these songs mean so much more now <3

  57. S.... C....

  64. J.... C....

    Wow .bonita voz

  65. G.... L....

    Amazing song. Love the video .

  66. P.... S....

    Ben, i do wish you will sing songs that will encourage true normal principled love, and that there is hope.

  67. A.... T....

    Ben, God has blessed you with a special message, a special gift, a beautiful love. I know that there are so many others who have lit a candle, carried & shone the way through the darkness. So many people have joined hands & hearts to say that love is stronger than hatred, fear and threats. God is Love. Hate is from Satan. Hatred, fear & threats are Satan's ways of manipulation & destruction, but Love will always prevail.

  68. H.... F....

    wow! wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  69. V.... C....

    i know you will never see this but you are my idol I don't know how I would've made it through some nights with your your music and you are everything I inspire to be and I will never give up and if one day we meet that will be the day i get the answer to my struggle and you might think that your impact isn't far but just know that I will make it to a level to make people proud like how you inspired me and I am astonished on your amazing ability

    Just found a new addiction, your voice, singing, words, and convictions. I feel it's not going to be temporary so I'm having my phone fully charged. 😁

  83. T.... J....

    You're afraid to meet someone
    'Cause you've been burned, you've been burned, you've been burned
    Love is good until it's gone
    That's what you learned, what you've learned, what you've learned

    You don't have to hide your love away and
    I know that I'm gonna make mistakes, but
    Leaning on somebody isn't easy
    I'll do what I can to make you see that

    This is not a temporary love
    This is not a temporary love
    Now your heart is in my hands, I won't give it up
    This is not a temporary love

    You may not think I know the difference
    But I do, but I do, but I do
    I feel the gravity in between us
    And you can, too, you can, too, you can, too

    We don't have to hide our love away and
    Both of us are gonna make mistakes 'cause
    Leaning on somebody's never easy
    But look at me and tell me you don't see that

    This is not a temporary love
    No, this is not a temporary love
    Now your heart is in my hands, I won't give it up
    This is not a temporary love

    When the world around is caving in
    And the winds, well, they keep on changing
    Take my hand and let it spin
    We'll hold still

    This is not a temporary love
    No, this is not a temporary love
    Now my heart is in your hands, please don't give it up
    This is not a temporary love
    This is not a temporary love
    No, this is not a temporary love
    Now your heart is in my hands, please don't give it up
    This is not a temporary love
    This is not a temporary love

  85. D.... ....

  98. m.... p....

    The best

  99. F.... T....

    I've never seen such a person - so emotional that I cry every time I listen to his songs, so handsome that I can't hold back the feelings from the bottom of my heart and I want him to be my husband so bad, so talented that I can't compare him to anybody, so sweet a tone that it makes me high. Honestly, I'm ready to go to hell with him, it's enough for me to know that I'm with him next to me.
