Love can be a beautiful thing
But it also can hurt,
Ripping you inside out all at once
And no hope for salvation

Love mocks, and it burns
Marrs you with memories and things to come
The hurt inside can be unbearable
But still you are faithful

Why? Maybe because you are blind,
Or you don't want to admit it
But mostly it's the power of love
You can't let go of it

Love is powerful, it makes you do weird things
It binds you to someone for no reason
You can't go against it, and you can't deny it
Whether you want to or not

And love can hurt you,
Your love can be untrue
But now, at this moment,
Your love loves you.
