Love Is Greed

(albüm: Gossamer - 2012)

We want a love, a love for us
We want a selfless love, that we can always say we trust
Love has always been a mockery
Of those in love and scared to be lonely
Don't wanna love, don't wanna hurt
If all that loneliness requires just another's comfort
Better off being all on your own, cause there's beauty in being alone

Today we're arguing it's not worth making
Another person as just yours for the taking
Or you're hoping and praying
Won't do more than saying that

Love, love, love,
Love is just greed
It's almost taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love,
Love is just greed
A selfish little need
You follow or you lead
If we really love ourselves
How do you love somebody else?

A love to us, a love to them
It's just a history repeating itself time and time again
Love is not a veil to hide your voids
All this talk of love just turns to noise
So you want love, a love so tough
That even all these truths don't seem as though they're adding up
Haven't you already had enough?
What's this suffering remind you of?

Someday we'll all agree, it's not worth making
Another person as just yours for the taking
Or you're hoping and praying
Won't do more than saying that

Love, love, love,
Love is just greed
It's almost taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love,
Love is just greed
A selfish little need
You follow or you lead
If we really love ourselves
How do you love somebody else?

A loved one gone is just another story
What's gone sour once was glory, glory!
If it's romance you want well ask for it then:

"Honey could you put your arms around me so,
Tell me things about you that I wouldn't know
And tell me that you love me like you do
And maybe at most"

Love, love, love,
Love is just greed
It's almost taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love,
Love is just greed
A selfish little need
You follow or you lead
If we really love ourselves
How do you love somebody else?
