Testo Love Is Greed

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
Evading love and scared to be near
Don't wanna love, don't wanna hurt
If all that loneliness requires
Is just another's comfort Better off being a lonely road
Cause there's beauty in being alone

Today we're arguing it's not worth making
Another person that's just 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 taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love, love is just greed
It's selfish and it's mean
You follow or you lead
If we really love ourselves How do you love somebody else

A love to us, a love to them
It's just a history repeating itself
Time and time again
Love is not a veil to hide your voice
All this talk of love just turns to noise
So you want love, a love so tough
That even all these truths 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's just 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 taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love, love is just greed
It's selfish and it's mean
You follow or you lead
If we really love ourselves
How do you love somebody else

A love all gone is just another story
What's gone sour once was glory, glory
If it's romance you want then ask for it then
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
And maybe I will too

Love, love, love, love is just greed
It's almost taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love, love is just greed
It's selfish and it's mean
You follow or you lead
If we really love ourselves
How do you love somebody else
