What is love, actually?
I have no clue.
7.8 billion people
And 7.8 billion different kinds of love.
Yet, this loud number
Is screaming in my face
But the one love i want to know
Is yours.
Paradox, right?
We love the ones that don't love us back
And we're being loved by people
Who don't even have the gut to tell us...
"circle of life" they call it
I'd say it's more
Circle of pain.
We're going round and round
Loving and hurting,
Being loved and being hurt
Endlessly
Yet we put the love above all
Pain, disappointment, agony
We remember the beauty of it and
Forget the ugliness of the others.
I'd give in all the planets in this galaxy
And if there's others, I'd give them too
I'll put the world down to your feet
Just to see the 1 in 7.8 billion smile.
And yes, even at night
I dream to know your love
Because goddammit;
Don't you wanna know mine?
