  • You want a love, a love for us
    You want a selfless love
    That we can always say we trust, oh
    Love has always been a mockery
    A vision of those scared to be near

    Don't wanna love, don't wanna hurt
    If all that loneliness requires
    Just another's comfort
    Better off being alone on your own
    'Cause the beauty in being alone

    Someday we'll all agree, it's not worth making
    Another person that is yours for the taking
    Or you're hoping and praying
    We'll do more than saying that

    Love, love, love, love is just greed
    It's almost taking me
    And now I can see
    Love, love, love, love is just greed
    It's selfish and mean
    It follows all you lead
    If we really love ourselves, or you love somebody else

    A love to us, a love to them
    It's just a history of beauty
    In self time and time again
    Love is not a veil to hide your voice
    All this talk of love just turns to noise

    Say you want love, a love so tough
    But even all this truth don't seem
    As though they're adding up, oh
    Haven't you already had enough
    What's this suffering remind you of?

    Someday we'll all agree, it's not worth making
    Another person that is yours for the taking
    Or you're hoping and praying
    We'll do more than saying that

    Love, love, love, love is just greed
    It's almost taking me
    And now I can see
    Love, love, love, love is just greed
    It's selfish and mean
    It follows all you lead
    If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else

    Love all gone is just another story
    Of what's gone sour once was glory, glory
    Soon as you want it, ask for them
    Honey could you put your arms around me slow
    Tell me things about you that I wouldn't know
    And tell me that you love me like you do

    Love, love, love, love is just greed
    It's almost taking me
    And now I can see
    Love, love, love, love is just greed
    It's selfish and mean
    It follows all you lead
    If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else Writer/s: MICHAEL ANGELAKOS
