I'm Loveless

What's a four-letter word
that everyone's looking for?
That makes most feel unalert
And crash down to the floor?
It's the trend of today
That everyone follows except me
I don't see why they say
It's so unreal, I'll never see

I guess I just don't get love
They all say I won't understand
I stand and look to the sky above
And wonder when
It'll happen to me.


I watch as it consumes them
Changing everything they are
They aren't who I knew then
This is getting really hard
I say it's stupid and useless
They insist it's like nothing known before
I almost want to slap them in the face
And say to wake the hell up; pay attention more.

I guess I just don't get love
They all say I won't understand
I stand and look to the sky above
And wonder when
It'll happen to me.
