Prompt / Lyrics
You could’ve left me alone, I was just fine on my own, You could have left me alone, lying, talkin bout my heart is where you belong, Should’ve kept strolling by, Instead, you caught my eye, You made me fall deep, I let my guard down, the red flags I didn’t peep, You were one my solace, now you’re the reason I loose sleep… What’s love when it hurts you, What’s love when the pains true What’s love? I’m asking you what’s love? What’s love? Why the fuck did you not leave me alone, I was building, you were a natural disaster, My life in shambles, I’m crying picking up pieces after, You coulda just left me the fuck alone, Instead, you of left me with emotions I’ve never known, You’re proof a house in not a home, And every chair is not a thrown, Now fantasies of us are gone, I’ve grown, and still I walk alone. Should have ignored you when I had the chance, Now I’m caught in bad romance… What’s love when it hurts you, What’s love when the pains true What’s love? I’m asking you what’s love? What’s love? …I can pretend like I never knew you… …like I never cared… Then I hear whispers, you in my ear… But no more relapses, no more fear ….ooooooo what’s love, Love, love, what’s love Heart break after heart break, I’m only human how much can I take, Im posed to smile and be fake? (Wrong one) Love made me, but love won’t break me, Cause I love me, and I won’t forsake me, I need to put put me first, quench my own thirst, If I’m to walk alone, I’ll be strong till the lonely’s gone, .. what’s when it hurts you…when the pains true (oo) …what’s love? What’s love …fussing and fighting (your wrong)… …trust issues she verbally abused… Oo what’s love… …love I remember when it used to hurt so bad, …I remember the tears dropping on my notepad. I hid from the world, packed away the pain inside, ….but the shame I couldn’t hide. Forcing me to look into the mirror and clash with reality, Finally able to see the real me. Which was buried away and on the verge of being free. Like opened eyes for the first time, I now see… It’s important to love you, while not forgetting to love me, Now I’ll love myself before I love anybody else, I’ll be able to give you the best of me, but I refuse to only give and never receive. Ooooooo What’s love when it hurts you? What’s love when the pain is true? I’m asking you what’s love… …only you can answer… …how you really feel… About love… …ooo love
