Love Only Leaves You Lonely

(album: A Perfect Contradiction - 2014)

They say it gets better
But it's bittersweet
You don't know how it feels
To sleep right where you used to be
And your smell used to linger
I need to wash my sheets
They're stained with memories
I wonder if you think of me

Forever really don't (don't)
Last too long
'Cause all I had to give (give)
Was not enough

Oh love
Just left me lonely
I ain't got nobody to call my own
Oh, love
Just made my heart ache
Our way is a mistake
Oh, love only leaves you lonely

I sleep with the TV on and write the saddest songs
Cigarettes and alcohol
Have become my only escape
I dream of my favourite child
No, I won't have to wait while
It hurts so much to smile
But even the strongest can break

Forever really don't (don't)
Last too long
'Cause all I had to give (give)
Was not enough

Oh love
Just left me lonely
I ain't got nobody to call my own
Oh, love
Just made my heart ache
Our way is a mistake
Oh, love only leaves you lonely

I'm left with nothing but a twisted dream
There must be someone out there who won't abandon me
'Cause I give so much, but all they ever do is take

Oh love
Just left me lonely
I ain't got nobody to call my own
Oh, love
Just made my heart ache
Our way is a mistake
Oh, love only leaves you lonely
Love just left me lonely
Love just left me lonely
To call my own
Oh, love just made my heart ache
Our way is a mistake
Oh, love only leaves you lonely
