LOVE HURTS

MATTHEW GRIFFIN · Monday, August 1st 2005 at 1:05PM · 84 views
My life is full of faults
Things I did which I can’t erase
Tried to run from em’ but I couldn’t find my pace
To retrace my past
My hearts got 8 stitches and my souls in a cast
And I thought the last time it broke, it was over
Finding me a four leaf clover, 30 bucks on the ground
But in the background was a surround sound of pain
Screams and cries of hurt
Yeah love hurts
It’s full of misery and confusion
I thought love walked in the door, but it was just an illusion
A mirage of what will never come to be
What should I expect, when the devil’s the architect?
Of all the pain and all the hurt
Of all the sorrow and for what it’s worth, I’m still looking
That extra seat at the table is still booking
The extra side on my bed, it’s still waiting
And my hormones and I are steadily pacing
Yeah I’m still waiting
For that extra love to come back into my life
I really did think, I had found my wife
Until you stabbed my heart,
“Hey baby, you forgot your knife”
I fell and I can’t seem to get back up
You use to overfill my cup of love with your emotional realization
Realizing that my reality was not so bad after all
After all, if you could make it, so could I
So I set my mind out to try
An to put the broken pieces of our relationship back together
But the glue wasn’t strong enough
So we just completely broke apart
I was demolished but I see you kept control of your heart
Making me believe that our love wasn’t make believe
While all along it was just a fairy tale
Romeo and Juliet
Except we didn’t die together
She’s happy and I’m dying by myself
