Love Is Greed

You want a love, a love for us You want a selfless love That we can always say we trust, oh Love has always been a mockery A vision of those scared to be near Don't wanna love, don't wanna hurt If all that loneliness requires Just another's comfort Better off being alone on your own 'Cause the beauty in being alone Someday we'll all agree, it's not worth making Another person that is yours for the taking Or you're hoping and praying We'll do more than saying that Love, love, love, love is just greed It's almost taking me And now I can see Love, love, love, love is just greed It's selfish and mean It follows all you lead If we really love ourselves, or you love somebody else A love to us, a love to them It's just a history of beauty In self time and time again Love is not a veil to hide your voice All this talk of love just turns to noise Say you want love, a love so tough But even all this truth don't seem As though they're adding up, oh Haven't you already had enough What's this suffering remind you of? Someday we'll all agree, it's not worth making Another person that is yours for the taking Or you're hoping and praying We'll do more than saying that Love, love, love, love is just greed It's almost taking me And now I can see Love, love, love, love is just greed It's selfish and mean It follows all you lead If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else Love all gone is just another story Of what's gone sour once was glory, glory Soon as you want it, ask for them Honey could you put your arms around me slow Tell me things about you that I wouldn't know And tell me that you love me like you do Love, love, love, love is just greed It's almost taking me And now I can see Love, love, love, love is just greed It's selfish and mean It follows all you lead If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else
