This Thing Called Love

I worked hard and had a peace of mind 
try to enjoy life and playing my game 
some days I had some ups and downs 
But it will always end up being the same 

There were some tough days 
That would really bring me down 
But I always pick myself up 
and i didn’t need any one around 

And I learn by my self be strong 
have been doing it since a child 
Had survive being on my own 
Like a lion does in the wild 

Loneliness was all I ever knew 
and It became my close friend 
We learn to get along so well 
so I never want our friendship to end 

Love never once crosses my mind 
I Just did not had the time 
so I convince my heart 
That love was a crime 

and I always kept to my self 
And stayed out of sight 
and If I see a chance for love 
I would hide like an owl in the night 

Then one day saw someone 
And something when wrong 
I try to hold on to my heart 
But I was no longer strong 

I lost my heart the very moment 
I looked in her beautiful eyes 
and then my heart found out 
all I said before was just lies 

All my reasons for hiding from love 
now it made no sense again 
Love came and take over my life 
Pouring down on me Like the rain 

And just like the sea 
Can not stop the tide 
I couldn’t stop my heart 
From letting love come inside 

So I will give this thing called love a try 
because now its To late to choose 
And I will play for keeps and to win 
because a heart never likes to lose
