Lying to Thyself

Why do people need love?
Is it the heartache
Is it the high
Is it feeling wanted
Is it feeling needed
Why do people want love?
Love brings tears
Love brings pain
Love brings warmth
Love brings soft touches
Why do people seek love?
Do I find joy in rejection
Do you find pleasure in lonely mornings
Do you find excitement
In the long hunt
Tell love to fuck off
So I can enjoy my popcorn
Tell love to back away
So you can watch the films
Of others falling in love
Who in the hell wants to be happy?
Bitching at someone
Breaking up with someone
Crying over someone
Holding someone
Kissing someone
Moving your soul in unison
With someone
Hey you!
Walking in front of me
Do you believe
In a sad story like love
Do you believe
In sickening amounts of affection
Do you believe
In the delusional state
Of having love everlasting
You do?
Then, uh
Do you believe
In love at first sight?
