love ain't supposed to make you crazy
but what is this madness i feel
taking over my senses
as i see red
succumbing to the pain
the hurt
he continuously inflicts upon me
speeding
frantic calls
dry sobs
where are you?
i wanna see the deceit in your eyes
as you lie
i wanna see your ability to torment me
while in the same breath
tell me you love me.
why do you do this to me
when i treat you no other way but GOOD?!
why are you so content to obliterate me
when there's 8 billion other people in the world
but yet i only want you?

why do you do this to me?
why do i let you do this to me?
you want a river?
well, babe, i've cried it.
but where were you to catch all of the tears that fell from my eyes?
i've surpassed that river
i've wept an ocean,
and despite all i've sobbed
it does nothing to deplete my love
for you...

sadly, i keep on loving you
they tell me i'm smart
yet you make me so dumb
my family don't like you
but their contempt does nothing to hinder this ardor
nor does it deter me from you.
nothing can, so it seems,
as i see your eyes looking into mine
your face
your sincerity
the agony etched into your features
as you describe the agony, the heartache, the numerous pains she has put you through.
as you tell me that if i leave you'll love nothing anymore
that you'll have nothing to live for anymore
so close to that edge you've been pushed
toes lipping the brink
and i've been placed here to pull you back
to do the impossible
to repair something,
someone rendered irreparably damaged
i've been appointed a task
that seems to be impossible
and nothing can make me let go.

love ain't supposed to make me crazy,
so what is it doing to me?
