Like a gift under the Christmas' tree.
You're excited.
Even delighted.
Only shocked or surprise when you open it up.
That's the way it is with looks.

They could be the best looking person in the world.
When it's really in your eyes.
You're delighted.
Even excited.
To have a good looking person on your arm.
Or by your side.
Least until they speak.

Or try to be so demanding.
Or turn out to be abusive.
That's the way it is with love.

Things on the outside.
Sometimes blind you to the facts of truth.
That the person you set your affections on.
Might be so wrong for you.
That's the way it is with love.

The strangest thing is we try to protect the fool.
Who were the only one that was cruel?
We lie.
We deny.
When many ask what went wrong?
We should have spoke up.

But we remain silent.
Like we owe them a favor.
That's the way it is with love.

Sometimes, it's better to remain alone.
Of course this is just an observation.
But truth lies within.

That sometimes lovers should just remain friends.
Of course this is just an observation.
Abusive folks usually get their justice in the end.

Sad but true.
But this is just an observation.
Cause I've never been in this situation.
