They Say

They say if you want love Your gonna have to walk thru the flame They say if you want love Your gonna have to stand in the rain They say if you want love Your gonna have to learn how to change.... They say that love is a deeper Different kind of pain They say the heart that loved and lost Is the only heart to live I say the heart that loved and lost struggles to forgive They say that true love- Is a love that is blind But I say a blind love is lost all the time They say too much words are weapons of war how can any love be worth anything more I’m looking for that love to Make me feel homesick That real love that make me wanna Come home quick The kind that makes me wanna say Baby I do It’s crazy how this feeling can overcome you And make you do things You wouldn’t normally do The years can be so happy at first But then comes the worst The thing you love the most Can turn into a curse I’m now sitting at empty tables Eating my dinners by myself I’m sleeping in an empty bed Wishing I was somewhere else All the fighting and the feuding Caused a division of hearts Like shattered mirror glass It all just fell apart I give my love But seem to get nothing in return I give my trust and my loyalty I’m always the first to get burned I’m speaking a different language And it falls upon deaf ears I’m reaching out to find love After 22 long cold years They say if you want love Your gonna have to love yourself first Apparently that’s because when Love is given It’s no longer a gift but a curse...
