They said love is the greatest thing.
You wonder how can you know love
when every time you open the door
somebody robbed the room bare.
I built my walls. I'm a gates tall.
Stone upon stone from every fall.
Every smile that turned to blade.
Every promise quick to fade.
They call it love, but we only know
the bits of seeds that choose to sow.
Sweet star in the shadows creep.
Leave me talking to the dark and sleep.
So if you ask me what love means,
I might tell you it's a dream I've never seen.
Just flashes in a stranger's eyes.
Gone for me, Can't even recognize
cuz my heart's been a battlefield me soul been a thief.
Taking back the pieces that still believe.
I'm a chest still locked with a rusted key.
Wonder if someone could set it free.
I don't know what love is.
Only know what it ain't.
I don't know what love is.
But miss still feel the faint
the fade sound of hope
through the cracks in the fear.
I don't know what love is.
But maybe it's still new.
I don't know what love is,
but I'm ready to learn.
I don't know what love is,
but my heart still yearn
if you ever find me,
find me well behind.
Show me what love is
and tear down these walls inside.
Maybe love not gone.
Maybe it's just waiting
till we're ready.
