Love

It's not what you think it is
It's a pain in your heart
That never goes away
And leaves a scar for life 

You give somebody your heart
And also your soul
They take it from you
And they break it 

Then you're left with no heart
And no longer a soul
All you have is a broken heart
And a body with no soul  

You're left searching
For that special someone
That can fix your heart
And give you a soul 

But you find no one
Worthy of fixing your heart
And giving you a soul
Because your trust is gone 

Love is all about trust
Without it, you have nothing
Love is also about pain
With it, you learn 

You learn to be careful
Of who you choose
Because you trust no one 
For fear of a broken heart
