The Love Obsession

by LostLikeTearsInRain   Mar 3, 2007


You break my heart time after time
Yet I keep coming back like a bad cough
I'm on "America's Most Wanted", loving you is my crime
Why'd you had to flip the love switch to off?

Your eyes have been clouded by lies and deceit
I hope you know that the beautiful girl you once were
Has died, gone to heaven, and been replaced with you
Well, I don't want you, I want her!

Our love was obviously a big mistake
Nothing more or nothing less
I wish I could say differently but
It was something you always had to second guess

I'm bruised and battered
On a bloodstained floor
Where's the girl I once knew?
The girl who I adore

You never gave me the second chance I deserved
When you know I loved you like no one else can
You sit with that stubborn look across your face
Because when times got tough you just ran

I use to look at you and see an angel
With whom I was completely level
Now I've got you
And you are merely a devil

I weep for you every night
But what do you care?
I remember when you only brought delight
Why me, it isn't fair!

I used to make the light shine for you
But you've thrown it all away
And left me for dead on an abandoned street corner
I'm afraid that there's just nothing left to say

And while the rain hits my motionless body
I bleed the last of my love for you from my heart
How could you lie to me the way you did?
You promised we would never part!

You used to make me feel like someone special
Yet you spit on me even when I surrender
As I wave the white flag
You smile, it must be another guilty pleasure

I'm a lost cause in a world that has forgotten
How love can hand out depression
And what it means to love until you're rotten
In the end my love was just a mild obsession
