A Tainted Feeling...Called Love

Why do we all affect ourselves with this tainted feeling…of love?
How can a feeling for one person, tear us apart inside…our soul?
We talk about how love gives us wings, and we soar…up above
Or if we hurt, we fall, we die, our life is meaningless no… control
We write, we sing, an outlet love may bring good… or bad
It seems to affect us everywhere we go…or stay
And those who’ve never experienced it get lonely…or mad
Couples everywhere sometimes we’d wish they’d just go… away
We see it all around us, tv, movies, the radio, in front…of us
I get sick every time I think about it…or don’t
I read horoscopes in what the year…may bring
Then I say to myself, don’t let it bother me…I won’t
Sometimes it just seems so real I can’t help but…daydream
We wish upon stars, we pray every night…God please
Let me love someone and they just love me…right back
I don’t think it’s too much to ask why can’t it…be me?
We think is there something wrong here, something I …may lack?
All I know for sure, is that it impacts us all…around
And those who have it and those that don’t…we’ll see
It just seems so cruel sometimes, we can’t…break down
That this feeling inside of us will never…set free
It’s almost a haunting feeling that won’t ever go… away
This tainted feeling that surrounds us…called love
