Love is that complicated
I carelessly hoped a lot
Thinking I was a fool,
Till it became more cruel
Nothing, but I'm sure
This broken hearted ain't cool
Darkness, but not hollow
Black, but not bitter
You were there,
And then you weren't
You had my heart
But I never had yours
You showed me love
You took my soul and I followed
I fell in love
I fell pieces, still
You left me dying
Lingering and torturing
Heart cried a lot, nothing left but empty
Only when I woke up,
The blanking out, the waking up
I felt more dead than usual, I couldn’t got up
Been broken so many times
But love still remains
I’m still here, with the love and pain.
