Lyrics

If Love Equals Nothing

I'm sitting in the dark now No energy to turn the light on Don't wanna see nothing Since you're gone 'Cause where are all the soldiers? I'm tired of fighting on my own I'm fed up with users Where did I go wrong? Tell me why does my heart Let me down? Always thinking we'll be different Next time around If love equals nothing But sadness and pain Why do I need it time and time again When it builds me up high And then drops me to the floor Beating me Cheating me still I come back for more I put a lot of love in It always seems to go to waste Am I looking for the right thing In the wrong place? Yeah And tell me why does my heart Rule my head? Think it loves to be a fool It likes to be mislead I need to understand that If love equals nothing But sadness and pain Why do I need it time and time again? When it builds me up high Drops me to the floor Beating me Cheating me still I come back for more People come, people come People come and go And every time it's just the same I end up here alone Picking up the pieces Of a heart that's always broke and oh If love equals nothing But sadness and pain Why do I need it time and time again? When it builds me up high And then drops me to the floor Beating me Cheating me still If love equals nothing But sadness and pain Why do I need it time and time again? When it builds me up high And then drops me to the floor Beating me Cheating me Still I come back for more
