Love is Pain

They told me love was pain, well maybe that explains…
Explains the wounds yet to be seen, when your weapon is in plain sight
But I don’t fight or attempt to defend I just follow the path hoping it doesn’t lead to a dead end, and I’d spend every dollar and every second of my life, rebuilding something love destroyed so we could live as man and wife
They said love was pain, and Im hurting to the bone, it’s like your presence comes to haunt me in the guise of your cologne and the unknown is more than frightening and most times Im unsure because you leave my mind wondering while Im staring at the phone
And I gave you my heart long before you even asked, yet the picture isn’t clear, at times you seem so cavalier, yet if the war is waged against us know Im facing the combat zone, sharpened my sword before I left just recognize that I cant fight this war alone.
Im addicted to the endorphins that this pain from love produces, and my friends they ask me why, so I give them lame excuses, and I admit sometimes I wanted to step down but the fight in me refuses, cuz the war just cant be won if I cant bear the bumps and bruises
A war that my heart chooses like Daniel faced the lions, and just because love is pain doesn’t mean that love’s prone to lying, and if I end up dying let my death not go in vain,
Although I should have seen it coming, shit they told me love was pain.
And if we part like the Red Sea, and let the people walk between us, could we endure the clock’s ticking and let time wean us like a child from the breast, lost like a man at sea hurt from thoughts that went repressed, or fate that just won’t let us be
Cuz I see me and I see you, but is this vision real cuz I was open with my heart and not one detail did I conceal, yes I reveal to you my everything hoping my heart doesn’t strain
And if it does then I’ll still be standing here, they told me love was pain.
