Painful Side of Love
I don’t know why I long for love
For though it’s quite different from pain
They often feel the same, really
Both can drive you insane
If you’re a stranger
And you treat me wrong
I might hurt for a minute
But it’ll never be for long
The hurt is just that much deeper
When it comes from family or friends
When love is involved, more is expected
And the cut is harder to mend
It’s easy to lose what you never had
If I don’t care for you then I’ll be ok
But when love is present for a sweet goodbye
I’m always—always in dismay
They say love is pain
Even for the perfect pair
So why keep asking
When it only hurts to care
