Love Can'T Live
Can anybody really love?
Give themselves over completely
Have someone who really know them,
Who can hold them all night?
You see that sign there in the window,
Saying, ‘I heart you don’t let me go.’
Can someone really feel that much emotion,
About someone who’s just another person?
‘Cause I know people come and they go,
Their nothing special. They’re just on the same road.
They take their time or quickly pass by.
But the sharper the look, the harder you ask yourself why.
So, can anybody really feel love?
Can anybody really dig that deep?
‘Cause you’ll turn around in circles,
All looking for the same things.
And I’ve heard of loving God,
Loving family, and loving your friends.
But I just don’t think a person could ever get deep enough,
To feel what their dreaming of.
Love just doesn’t seem easy enough,
Seems like it should always shine through.
Or is that just an optimists’ point of view,
‘Cause it don’t seem likely that it will happen for you.
Then why is love even a factor,
When no one seems to hold on to the truth.
How can love even exist in this world,
After all I’ve been through.
Caring is a beginning,
Helping out, it becomes a fact.
But nothing ever last for love to hold to,
‘Cause truth is all love has.
And you can love your children,
You can love your best friend.
But to just love some person,
It’s not a realistic end.
So, love can’t last, and if there’s truth in that.
I don’t want to live in this world.
‘Cause all these people who were trying.
Now are crying, and I can’t live with that.
