Ive seen love like i seen hurt
They coexist together in your heart
Feeding off each other til one grows stronger
Setting you off on a road of pain and sombre
The light always beats the dark i heard them say
So whys my light so dim need someone to reignite my flame?
If i get another gust of wind i might blow over
And then give up on something we all long for
Live alone in love with my life
With my money and my voice, my lyrics and my pipe
Hoping even one of those things could replace a wife
Only saving grace is that i realised
That the person you are is not a sum of parts
You are not a brain and heart apart
When you love someone and its unrequited
The heart beats faster while the brain is your critic
Telling you to shape up circle round find middle ground
Stop dwelling over something you cant control its out of bounds
Understand your worth from your own perspective
Surround yourself with walls that block out introspection
Look outside and see happiness around you
Look inside and see the anger that binds you
Escape from its clutches before it engulfs your soul
Being hateful is only the result
Of hurt beating love now watch the chaos unfold
