Love is Ugly Business

I used to believe in hate,

When we tore our hearts out,

but lately all I see,

Is all hate meant was doubt

I've been blinded by anger

Sinned against my soul,

I tore your love to pieces

This f*****g mind trick plays foul.

I'll let go of my f*****g pain,

Because I've seen the truth in your eye,

Don't know how to hold on,

But I wont watch you die.

Love is ugly business,

Watch yourself get crushed,

Watch the storytellers wrap it up in goodness,

And let you crush all trust,

You and me have a world,

more than most can dream,

We don't realise just how lucky,

This always makes us seem,

We've been through hell and backwards,

In seperate lives and here,

But the truth is, I love you, relentlessly,

Forever accepted and continuously cared,

Life cannot, will not be perfect,

Love will break it down,

If you don't leave the ache,

Take another chance on a man.

It's better to cross the line, take that chance,

And suffer all it's disheartening consequences,

Than to stare, enviously at the line for your life,

And never feel repentence,

Everybody learns in the end,

Whether it takes a day, a month, a life,

It will change them, for good or bad,

Your love is like a knife,

We've been cut open and glued our hearts shut,

But tied together with heart strings of gold,

You mean the world, I have the world,

My heart to you's been sold.

I know no matter what happens now,

We'll always stay this way,

Forever changing, forever growing,

But loving you's where I'll stay

Love is ugly business,

Watch yourself get crushed,

Watch him pick you right back up again,

And finally care to trust.

Love can be a very ugly business. I happen to agree with you. Sometimes loving the wrong person can lead to a world of chaos.
