I Was Not Meant For Love

I must try to hide my love Keep it under lock and key For I was not meant for love And love was not meant for me My love is everlasting Unlike the changing season My passion is so intense It goes beyond all reason Better to be without it To live without constant fear That the one whom I adore Will make these hazel eyes tear It’s better to keep myself Tightly under my control Than to give myself away To someone without a soul I was not made for love And love was not made for me It’s a sad and damning truth All the same, it sets me free Instead of being a dreamer With my head up in the cloud I’m a converted realist My heart’s covered in a shroud I’m dead to life and to love What I tell you is so true I was not made to be loved Unless I am loved by YOU!
