Love



Silly little guys.
They just treat you like shit,
One things for certain,
They wanna get-and-quit.

They f*ck with your head,
And toy with your heart.
Until you like them so much,
Your falling apart.

Yours been spinning,
While your hearts pounding,
Your hoping he's different,
Your thinking he's astounding.

Don't play his game,
Or the fool Poker face,
Cause he is all the same,
His hearts in a dark place.

It's all a big lie,
His words are his bluff,
And whatever you do,
It's never enough.

So why look for "love",
This thing so magical,
So called "sent from above",
Ends up quite tragical.
