When Love Sinks

in the years of growing up
i think that i've grown down
i learnt to pay attention(sit up)
i also learnt how to frown

in happiness, i smile and grin
shaking and crying, not sad
where doe's it start or sadness begin
whats in good that turns out so bad

love is all sweetness and light
and the world is rose coloured pink
until the arguements and the fights
things you loved now suddenly stink

your unsinkable world so hurt tight
is suddenly started to get wet
run for the love boat your in for a fright
your not on that dry land yet

so i've learnt all about happy and sad
i've have lots of love and pain
i've also learnt the good and bad
just suppose i start all over again.
