Its only love after all
It's only love after all
My fragile psyche couldn't take it
My stupid head couldn't fake it
My fragile hands couldn't break it
But it's only love after all
It's only love after all
There is nothing written on paper
Except a bunch of empty promises
There is nothing in my pockets
Except some empty hands
There is nothing between us
except miles of road
But it's only love after all
It's only love after all
I don't have any good reasons
just lame excuses
I don't have any big real problems
just small solutions
I don't have any real thoughts
just lip-synced sugar pop BackStreet Boyz bullshit
But it's only love after all
it's only love after all
There ain't nobody crazy here
or at least not crazy enough to get out of this mess
where's a straitjacket when you need one?
Some insecure boy trying to conquer fear
Some young man trying to find a lady partner
Some faded ghost reliving his favorite crime scene
Some babbling mouth and twitching hands telling the damn whole world
it's only love after all
it doesn't solve any real problems
it doesn't fill the cold empty spot in your bed
it doesn't kill the mean nasty doubt in your head
it doesn't take care of you when you're sick
it doesn't put food on the table
it doesn't pay the rent
it doesn't keep you any company in anything but your head
it's only love after all
Stolen:
"I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine"
Maybe I don't know what love is.
Because the best thing she ever did for me.
Was help me take my love less seriously
it's only love after all.
