Love Stings
Another stormy day in sunny land
Another fantasy, that can't be had at all
I throw my hat into the windy sea
And watched it disappear in front of me
I let my shadow lead me to your door
I filled your room up with my tears and swam away
Down beneath it all, it's really sad
Never tell yourself you can't be had
Love stings you
Love rocks you
Love can be maddening
Love finds you
Love reminds you
It's all so fascinating
When the words began to fall
But you know you said them all
Love stings
The picture fades to black and white and tears
The calendar has lost its pages for the year
The world is moving, but I'm standing still
The wind is changing, but I never will
Love stings you
Love holds you
Love can be shattering
Love pricks you
Love will trick you
It's all so paralyzing
When you think you've got a right
It'll turn you in spite
Love stings you
Why does the mirror still reflect your face
I can't imagine why the time will not erase
Sustaining my illusion
The pieces falling out of place
When your mask no longer fits
But the masquerade persists
Love stings you
Love heals you
Love can be merciless
Love takes you
Love awaits you
It's all so disenchanting
Love stings you
Love saves you
Love can be vanishing
Love fools you
Love will rule you
Until you realize it
When a summer night grows cold
And the memories unfold
Love stings
