The Pain of Love

When I sit there in the corner
I begin to think of what I've done.
I wish that I could end the pain
and go back before it begun.
When I think of all my friends,
I think of how they're always there
beside me all the way.

When at first I try to see
why they keep love so far away from me,
I see it's just protection
from those who are out to hurt me.
I have found true love before,
but it always turns out the same.
The only one who was really there,
has moved far, far away.
She listened to my problems,
and she game me good advice.
She was the only one
who really cared about my heart.

Can someoen please tell me
why everyone i meet
always turns out the same?
They just want to hurt me.
What is it that attracts those
who can't do any good?
all they want to do is rob me of my money,
and strip me of my pride.
Why is it no one loves me for me,
they just want what I can give?
And when they get what they want,
they're out the door again.

I try to figure out
what is so wrong with me
that I can never find true love.
I've been hurt by love before,
I ran and hid from it.
It just came looking for me again.
I've tried to ignore
the feelings that I have,
but that just hurts even more.
I'm not afraid of love,
I just wish I can find someone
who loves me too.

Now that I have told my story,
I must be going on;
Love is looking for me.
And soon as it find me,
I'll be writing to you again.
