Love is a disease
It infects what you believe about
Yourself and the others you need
And love is not kind
It won't smile and it won't shine
It isn't there when you need it
You can't save it and you can't delete it

And love is cruel and unforgiving
And love is usually unwilling to give you
Back what you've been building
It will scorch the earth just cos you're tilling it
And like a cat you've been petting for every
Day of every single week
But when you need it and when you're feeling
Weak all it really wants to do is fall asleep
Because love is vicious and love is spiteful
But love also just doesn't care

So you can fight it but when you strike at it
It'll just vanish like it was never there
But believe me it's still there
Not in your shoes or heart or hair
Cos I've looked in all the obvious places
And still haven't found it anywhere

But when I find it I will kill it
So that I can get on with my life
And regain composure of my posture and control
Of the thoughts in my own mind
Because love will break you apart
But now hate is accessible and jealousy is free

Bitterness is easy and blame comes even easier for me
And lust is a game that you always will lose
But who minds losing when each level has new
Contestants for you to choose

And you can yell out
Ok I'm finished
Now I want to win
Well too bad cos winning's not up to you
All you can do is choose when to begin
To start losing something different

Shaped vaguely like pride
But much bigger and much heavier and
Much much easier to find
And once you give that away you will know
By the sickness in your stomach and the
Numbness in your toes
Because love will break you apart
And love is hard
