Call Me Lost

If to love is to live
Then I'm lost
If to live is to love 
Then I'm dead
My heart channelled at birth
Never to love
Or so I believe.

Never been lucky with love
So I am jinxed
Jinxed by what?
When I am selfish with my heart
How can I give my heart?
When it keeps me alive
How can I give my heart?
when it pumps my blood

Call me selfish 
but I'm in control of my feelings
Call me heartless
but I do get to keep my heart

They say love engulfs your thoughts
but I need my thoughts
to keep me sane

They bet on loneliness to kill me
but it never really haunts me
because I find solace inthe bottle

Call me lost
but I definitely don't want to be found
