In the Name of Love

"Ive been hurt in the name of love, by the ones Ive loved the most.

It felt like I was loved the least, but at least I was loved.

Thats what was in their eyes. Their lying eyes.

The same eyes that looked at me to say 'I love you'

were the same wondering eyes that ripped my inner beauty out from the inside,

but I tried to hide my pride.
Ive been loved in the name of hurt. Or so it seemed.

They loved me just enough so that the hurt multiplied to infinity,

it felt like the end for me.

But I kept on lovin', or kept on longin for the love I thought I should recieve,

but that wasnt the love that was given to me.

The love for me always seemed be the one that stop at good enough.

I just wish I could take the road less traveled and call loves bluff.
Ive been loved in the name of lust.

And trust, its not what it appears to be.

They confused love at its best, with sex.

Never refusing to neglect the words from my heart.

Now thats a start.

Lets get back to that, cause sex in the name of love is love makin

but not to be mistaken as love in the name of sex at its best.
So Ive been hurt in the name of love, loved in the name of hurt, and loved in the name of lust. Now, I'm lusting in the name of love.

Thats when love becomes a drug.

It's so addictive. You get vindictive and they did.

But whats the higher bid?

Knowing that lust from love is love making and love is not forsaken.

So Im happy that Ive taken the road less traveled.

And as a result, Im on this path by myself, searching for self.

And hoping to one day find that one who loves in the name of love.


Love is a drug... and Im addicted."
