Love Scar

Love is a dangerous thing to have, and even worse to lose.

Love Scar

 

Love lost is like a terrible demon that haunts you

Taunts you

Until just hearing the word love causes you to perspire

So scared of being hurt that you hide your desire

Take your heart and wrap it in barbwire

But saying that makes you happy

Makes you a liar

 

You get so obsessed over those old painful emotions

That love of any kind seems like a ridiculous notion

You get so used to saying no to love

That your mouth doesn't have to think it’s such a familiar motion.

And at the end of a very long day

You march into your house and lock yourself away

Wondering why everybody else has somebody to love at home

But when you get you’re all alone.

Even surrounded by sea thousands you feel like you’re alone.

 

Until eventually you decide you’ve had enough

Threaten suicide if things don’t look up

Friends and family say they love you, but you call their bluff

So you buy a box of razors and swallow every blade

Life suddenly seems precious as you grab for air

Crying and pleading how you don't want to die you just want life to be fair

But its too late you die and leave pain ad heart break in your wake

Mother so sad she puts a gun to her head and says she’ll see you when you awake
