Love isn't always Right.
I'm still walking all alone
You're waiting broken by a phone
Chasing old loves in new books,
Getting by on your perfect looks
But that might not be enough,
On the days life gets tough
Only love will be enough.
.
I know I'm running out of time
Low on hope that you'll be mine
But I have enough for one more song,
And if you listen it won't be long,
Cause I told the milky way your name
I wrote it in fire but you never came,
But the stars know your name.
.
These are the last verses I write
The last letter in my dark night,
Even if my eyes need your light
I can't fight with Love, Love won the fight.
I say goodbye and watch you float away
Like you did with my heavy heart that day.
You always float away.
.
I always knew we'd have to part
So you could make another start,
You played the muse and I the troubadour
I left songs on rose petals at your door,
And I wish I had more to say farewell in style
But I guess I have enough, I have your smile,
I have your perfect smile.
.
And if I crawl your extra mile
Can I hold you for a while?
Cause love costs more when you're lost
But I paid in full and tears was all it cost,
And the place I promised you, well its still there
You can reach it but regret won't pay the fare,
Regret won't get you anywhere.
.
Beautiful one, I realize it's wasn't fair
Back when I would watch you stare
Like you were suffering in a dream,
And moonlight was the only stream
That lit our day and paved our troubled way
To our spot by the sea, where you couldn't stay,
Oh. how I wish you'd stay.
.
You went looking for my face
Drove so far to that old place,
But they took my picture down
In that cold and faceless town.
In stone it's written I would die for you
And it's too late for that to not be true ,
On your heart it says I'd die for you.
.
So don't forget the things life taught
That love must come, It can't be caught,
And I know your name means life
I loved you but hated all the strife,
But I will build again, just like back then-
Cause it wasn’t wrong, remember our song
Love sees no wrong.
