Love Is Not Real

The have been many sightings
Of love in truth

The skeptic in me longs for
To see of love some proof

Only for you does this happen

Only for you do I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else
It's somewhere far

No man I've ever known's

Come close

It can be vicious heartless

Dire and cruel

In spite of my mind my heart longs

To find fire and fuel

Only for you does this happen

Only for you do I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else
It's somewhere far

No man I've ever known's

Come close

My girlfriend doesn't want
To know me

And my friends think
I've lost the plot
I have become a liability

I got to do something
But I don't know what
I'm hearing voices

And I can't see straight
I think I might be going insane

Can't make my own decisions

And I just can't wait
To mess it all up again

I never thought that I would succeed

Beyond the wildest dreams
I've ever dreamed
But everything's become so hackneyed

Familiarity only breeds contempt

I'm ruining your life
I'm bored with mine

I'm acting like I couldn't care less
Another bottle and another line

Another stranger to undress

Next time you stab me in the back

You'd better do it to my face
Next time you stab me in the back

You'd better do it to my face
Next time you stab me in the back

You'd better do it to my face
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face

When you forget

What you cannot forgive

The terms are so much
Easier to come to with

When we look at what
We're going through

And desaturate
Until everything is simple

Love or hate

Love or hate

I have been searching

I have been searching my soul

I've seen the brightest star

I've seen the blackest hole

I've found a way to cope
With every twist of fate
Now everything is simple

Love or hate

Love or hate

Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face

And when that love comes crawling

Back to me to say

I've been away

Now please let me stay with the

No way

Never again will I do this

Never again will I care

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here

Love is somewhere else
It's just a dream

I've had so many nights alone

Love is not real

Love is a hoax

It's just a dream

I've had so many nights alone

Love is not here

Love is somewhere else
It's somewhere far away

No man I've ever known's come so close
