A Sin Called Love

Back to front, up and down.
We're on this ride spinning round and round.
Through my mind flow tradgic memories,
It's amazing how people so close become enimies.

Give it effort, give it time.
Give it heartache, love will shine.
Stop the bruising, stop the pain.
Stop the yelling and relight my flame!

Lack of compassion,
lack of love.
Lack of everything listed above.

Let me leave, give me space.
You fucking control freak get out of my face!
You selfish bitch, it's always about you!
Hum a fresh tune, sing something new.

I'm sorry for hurting you the way i just did..
It's okay babe, i'll always forgive.
I love you like the desert misses the rain,
I love you too, with out any shame.
kisses so soft, kisses so warm.
Butterfiles in my stomach, a swarm.

Why didn't you call, i waited all night?
I'm sorry, i forgot, please. lets not fight.
Who were you with? Where did you go?
Were there any strange boys, i've yet to know?
No! don't you trust me? I can care for myself!
It's not lack of trust, i worry for your health.
You always intrude when i'm out on my own,
you make me rebel and want to dissown!
Don't give me that shit, you'll wind up abused,
then i won't want you, you'll be disgusting and used!

Love doesn't hurt, love doesn't scream.
Love won't collapse, love lets you dream.

So what is this filth we've entrapped ourselves in?
This isn't love. It's more of a sin.
