You can take the love but that leaves anger You can take the anger but that leaves sadness You can take the sadness but that leaves emptiness You can fill the empty but that gives falsehood You can tell the truth but that reveals nothing Because you're false You're false because you're empty You're empty because you're sad You're sad because you're angry You're angry that you're lover is false. You love yourself.

A Vicious Cycle
You can take the love but that leaves anger You can take the anger but that leaves sadness You can take the sadness but that leaves emptiness You can fill the empty but that gives falsehood You can tell the truth but that reveals nothing Because you're false You're false because you're empty You're empty because you're sad You're sad because you're angry You're angry that you're lover is false. You love yourself.
