Lyrics

[00:02.22] .
[00:10.85] You want a love, a love for us
[00:15.22] You want a selfless love
[00:17.28] That we can always say we trust, oh
[00:20.03] Love has always been a mockery
[00:24.78] Evading love and scared to be near
[00:29.78] Don't wanna love, don't wanna hurt
[00:34.22] If all that loneliness requires
[00:36.72] Is just another's comfort
[00:39.18] Better off being a lonely road
[00:43.55] Cause there's beauty in being alone
[00:47.93] .
[00:48.43] Today we're arguing it's not worth making
[00:52.99] Another person that's just yours for the taking
[00:57.11] Or you're hoping and praying
[00:59.55] We'll do more than saying that
[01:02.24] .
[01:02.49] Love, love, love, love is just greed
[01:08.05] It's almost taking me
[01:10.11] But now I can see
[01:11.74] Love, love, love, love is just greed
[01:17.49] A selfish little me
[01:19.55] You follow all you leave
[01:22.05] If we really love ourselves
[01:24.24] How do you love somebody else
[01:26.42] .
[01:26.80] A love to us, a love to them
[01:31.16] It's just a history repeating itself
[01:34.22] Time and time again
[01:36.22] Love is not a veil to hide your voice
[01:40.66] All this talk of love just turns to noise
[01:45.29] So you want love, a love so tough
[01:50.10] That even all these truths don't seem
[01:52.47] As though they're adding up, oh
[01:54.97] Haven't you already had enough
[01:59.72] What's this suffering remind you of
[02:03.72] .
[02:04.29] Someday we'll all agree, it's not worth making
[02:08.97] Another person that's just yours for the taking
[02:13.29] Or you're hoping and praying
[02:15.53] We'll do more than saying that
[02:18.29] .
[02:18.54] Love, love, love, love is just greed
[02:23.98] It's almost taking me
[02:26.10] But now I can see
[02:27.53] Love, love, love, love is just greed
[02:33.41] A selfish little me
[02:35.48] You follow all you leave
[02:38.10] If we really love ourselves
[02:40.29] How do you love somebody else
[02:42.35] .
[02:42.66] A love all gone is just another story
[02:47.23] What's gone sour once was glory, glory
[02:50.66] If it's romance you want then ask for it then
[02:56.23] Honey could you put your arms around me slow
[03:00.91] Tell me things about you that I wouldn't know
[03:05.41] And tell me that you love me like you do
[03:08.29] And maybe I will too
[03:10.60] .
[03:10.79] Love, love, love, love is just greed
[03:16.29] It's almost taking me
[03:18.41] But now I can see
[03:19.79] Love, love, love, love is just greed
[03:25.73] A selfish little me
[03:27.85] You follow all you leave
[03:30.35] If we really love ourselves
[03:32.54] How do you love somebody else
