heart beats me black and blue

love seems to screw everybody up

how are we all so screwed up by love

it tears us apart and it fills us up

i mean just look at me, i fell for you

the months we shared left me black and blue

and my best friend, she’s addicted to love

she has a girl who’s words cut like a knife

how can you escape the blissful deceit 

and the torture of words that are spoken so sweetly

the man passing by had caught a woman’s eye

as her husband looks the other way

i know a boy who’s in love with two 

trapped in this fate, to neither he’s true

a girl in an apron, as life passes by

wonders how she caught the attention of an older guy

who’s needs had been met, who’d been spoken for

yet somehow with her he now wanted more

you’re father’s in love with his beautiful wife

a family at home who he kisses goodnight

but when business trips come alone twice a month

your mother loves his boss’s grown son

a young girl fell in love with a boy who lived far away

who’s love she never, could truly attain

that far away boy loved a pretty blonde girl

and to win her over he bought her the whole world

but it was never enough and she walked all over his love

but he never could say that he’d had enough

my brother’s in love with a boy he met backstage

a boy who is broken and needs to be saved

and in this love they are now consumed,

but I’m worried this love will be my brother’s doom 

the lady next door loves the man with the name

thats the same as the one who left her on their wedding day

me once again, find myself the biggest fool

i loved someone deeply who turned out so cruel

to love and abandon

to hold and walk away

love came and love went

and love died that very day

yet here we are trapped

in these cages of hope 

love wanders and follies but leaves us so cold

they say love is true and filled with this whimsy 

and yet i’m brokenhearted for love was untrue to me
