WHY DOES LOVE HAVE TO CUT SO DEEP?

Why does love have to bring tears,

That fall like rain?

Why does love have to hurt so much?

Why does love have to cause so much pain,

With it's gentle touch?

Sometimes I can almost cry,

From the sorrow.

I almost wish I could die.

But not 'till tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Love slays.

It's a double-edged-blade.

It cuts both ways.

That's why I am afraid.

Afraid to feel,

Love,

Or receive,

Love,

Or believe,

Love,

Is real.

Why does love have to bring tears,

That fall like rain?

Why does love have to hurt so much?

Why does love have to cause so much pain,

With it's gentle touch?

Why does love have to cut so deep?
