Love Sucks

It was at that birthday party where I first met her

And I swear it was fate

The sparkle in her eyes, caught me by surprise

I didn't want to give myself away

Three AM rolled around, talked of life's ups and downs

Common dreams, common goals, down the same road

It was perfect or so it seemed

Let me tell you what I mean

She got me going like a puppet on a string

She cut me loose and made me think it ain't no thing

Now, she wonders why we don't hang out as much

Sometimes it's safe to say, Love Sucks

"She's just a friend nothing more" is what I told myself

But then she started my way

Everyday she called my phone, want me for her own

I'm a stupid guy what can I say

Love sucks, when the pieces seem to fit

When you take a swing and miss it

With nothing left to savor

Love sucks, when the hands you hoped to hold

Throw you out in the cold night

And you've become a stranger
