Love Song Lyrics

It was the thing I always longed for

But I never knew why

'Cause when it came to me it always

Felt a bit like a lie

I only sought for it in those who

Held it in short supply

And then I gave all mine away, and

I forgot how to cry

Well, all those who gave it freely

Looked like pictures of me

And when I'm looking in the mirror

I don't like what I see

It was salt to open wounds

Insult upon injury

It was feeling put upon when

I just wanted to breathe

It was the thing I always longed for

But I couldn't believe

It always left me feeling empty

And alone and deceived

It tore open my old scars

Inflicted new injuries

And yet its longing still consumes me

And it grants no reprieve
