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
