Why does "I love you" turn into "I'm not in love with you anymore"?

Why does "I need you now" turn into "I don't want you anymore"

Love burns as bright as a flame

But it burns out just as quick The ones who felt the most

And who tried their hardest to look back from their mistakes

Just don't end up working

It's like walking on the thinnest part of an icicle

If there's just one misstep

Everything you've built

Comes crashing down

Like the titanic sinking fifty feet under

Only this time there's nothing to break your fall

No water, no life boats

You're just there, drowning and drowning

Wondering where in the fuck you went wrong

That is why I have a hard time believing

That love can last

That love can be the best damn thing you've ever felt

But I've been conditioned

That lies & lust & betrayal is all it is

And I don't want to believe that...

In the end, love is a fire

It can burn you down

Or grow and be the warmth that you were neglected from
