There have been many sightings Of love in truth The skeptic in me longs for To see of love some proof Only for you does this happen Only for you do I care Love is not real Love is a hoax It's just a dream I've had so many nights alone Love is not here Love is somewhere else It's somewhere far No man I've ever known's Come close It can be vicious, heartless, Dire and cruel In spite of my mind, my heart longs To find fire and fuel Only for you do I do this Only for you do I care Love is not real Love is a hoax It's just a dream I've had so many nights alone Love is not here Love is somewhere else I's somewhere far No man I've ever known's Come close My girlfriend doesn't want To know me And my friends think I've lost the plot I have become a liability I got to do something But I don't know what I'm hearing voices and I can't see straight I think I might be going insane Can't make my own decisions And I just can't wait To mess it all up again I never thought that I would succeed Beyond the wildest dreams I've ever dreamt But everything's become so Hackneyed Familiarity only breeds contempt I'm ruining your life I'm bored with mine I'm acting like I couldn't care less Another bottle and another line Another strange to undress Next time you stab me in the back You'd better do it to my face Next time you stab me in the back You'd better do it to my face Next time you stab me in the back You'd better do it to my face When you forget What you cannot forgive The terms are so much easier to Come to with When we look at what We're going through And desaturate Until everything is simple Love or hate Lover or hate I have been searching my soul I've seen the brightest star I've seen the blackest hole I've found a way to cope with every Twist of fate Now everything is simple Love or hate Love or hate Next time you stab me in the back You'd better do it to my face And when that love comes crawling Back to me to say I've been away Now please let me stay with the No way Never again will I do this Never again will I care Love is not real Love is a hoax It's just a dream I've had so many nights alone Love is not here Love is somewhere else It's just a dream I've had so many night's alone Love is not here Love is somewhere else It's somewhere far No man I've ever known's Come close
