Love Sucks

It was at that birthday party where I first met her And I swear it was fate The sparkle in her eyes caught me by surprise I didn't want to give myself away Three a.m. rolled around, talked of life's ups and downs Common dreams, common goals, down the same road It was perfect or so it seemed Let me tell you what I mean She got me going like a puppet on a string She cut me loose and made me think it ain't no thing Now, she wonders why we don't hang out as much Sometimes it's safe to say, love sucks She's just a friend nothing more, is what I told myself But then she started my way Everyday she called my phone, want me for her own I'm a stupid guy, what can I say Love sucks, when the pieces seem to fit When you take a swing and miss it With nothing left to savor Love sucks, when the hands you hoped to hold Throw you out in the cold night And you've become a stranger
