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.
