Why do we Love, Love?

Why do we love, love

When love seems to hate us?

Is it because 

We wish to find happiness?

Or is it just because 

it's better than the alternative?

We ride a roller coaster 

Reaching the top

Then becoming scared 

when we realize

we're about to drop

screaming the whole way down

Hoping we're about to come back up again

Only to repeat the cycle

All. Over. Again

When we get off the roller coster

We breathe a sigh of relief

Then like fools

We get back on it

Hoping to find happiness 

Why do we treat love like it's a game?

It's not one person versus another

or this team versus that team

For if one of us lose 

then we both lose

Maybe that why 

some people can't seem to find love

Cause their looking in all the wrong places

Like drug addicts crave drugs 

we crave love

We addicted to it

Trying to find where it's going to come from next 

For we can't live without it

Like drug addicts 

We try to buy our addiction,

but it never seems to last

It's only temporary

So we go looking for more

Love seems to hate us

Maybe that's why it's so hard to find

Because it's always running away

Trying to escape 

Because when we find it

We will never let it go

So why do we love, love

When love seems to hate us?
