The Truth of Love

Why am I here, what's in it for me
All this black and white is there anything else to see
What's behind those doors, let me escape
Black or white I don't want one choice
There's nothing in it for me 
Just let me be free

"Love"

So I said it just once
Now I have found out
It's a casual mess, that's used as a trap
Causing nothing but damage
Oh, don't you love me?
Until the tables are turned
They say it matters but it's just a weapon
Used by both sides
That's why I will never say it again 

So please just stay away
I said to be with you I would die
But to be away from you, you would die?
This was my choice, I chose to have destructive bliss
But I have been here before
So just take your departing kiss
