Before I Die

I just want someone to love before I die;
 so tired of losing lovers and never knowing why.
My giving 'till it hurts just never ends.
 'cause all my loving lovers end up just as loving friends.

 They take what fits and leave the rest behind.
 And all the love just ends up wasted time.

And i keep falling over words that always sound the same,
 and keep dreaming of an end to all the mental games,
and keep getting lost in passion's everlasting lie,
 and I just want someone to love before I die.
