i glance at the clock
it's 3:58 and still
my mind's awake
when they say love shouldn't hurt
i refuse to believe they loved
or maybe i love too much
because love hurts
love is a hard pill to swallow
when you're choking on your own tears
begging for someone to stay
wishing their feelings won't leave you astray
love makes us weak
like a candle in the wind
in hopes that you'd make me brighter
yet i know it doesn't work that way
my smoke will only fog whatever you have left for me
and i have to blaze myself up
after you put everything out
love hurts
when it shouldn't
but what can i say?
i wouldn't want it any other way
