The Love Lie

Oh love’s just torture in disguise

I know for sure, I know I’m right

I’ve tried a million times despite

My oath to rest this gruesome fight.

 

Believe you me, it is a fact

It either ends in pain or death

So when you really do the math

The numbers crumble, go off path.

 

​It starts so sweet, tremendous joy

Is trailed by wrath and then destroy

All magic it once had, oh my

Then boom he’s gone, the precious boy.

 

He disappeared and took the strut

So as advised, I reconstruct

The rubble pieces in the mutt

To heal the wounds, the hurt heart, but

 

[Chorus 1]:

It didn’t do any of the things the psychiatrist had promised

Yet it made me realize that I am alive.

He said forget, forgive and change, proceed to breathing, stop the cries

Continue on, cause you will grow and then thrive. 

 

This time it took abundant time

It seemed forever in my mind

So when it blew I tried to find

Another way to make it right.

 

​I laughed, I cried, I begged, I shout

Gave him a chance to figure out

Where we belong, move on from doubt

Yet still no good did come about.

 

The hell that comes right after love

For sure shows all emotive worth

The love lie gained oh what on earth

Was I to do despite rebirth.

 

​I turned to help to clear the mess

The boy created when he left

I changed my mantra, decompressed

Got all the garbage off my chest, yet

 

[Chorus 2]:

It didn’t do any of the things the psychiatrist had promised

but it made me realize, I want a new life.

He said forget, forgive and change, proceed to breathing, stop the cries

Continue on, cause you will grow and then thrive. 

 

​From now on I will let it rest

Ignore for sure the other sex

I think I’m gonna get a pet

And live a life without this threat.

 

​I will read books, make instant meals

And when temptation next appeals

I’ll storm the other way for real

Kindly deny the offered deal.

 

Love only me and life as is

Find other ways to get a kick

Define new goals to really quick

Apply this so-called golden trick.

 

​Take my advice cause you must know

The love lie fools you really slow

Into believing it can grow

Eternally but I say, with all due respect, no

 

[Chorus 3]:

It didn’t do any of the things the psychiatrist had promised

but it made me realize, it’s time for my life.

He said forget, forgive and change, proceed to breathing, stop the cries

Continue on, cause you will grow and then thrive.
