YOU INSPIRE ME

YOU INSPIRE ME

YOU INSPIRE ME TO THINK
OF SOMETHING CALLED LOVE

SOMETHING THAT HAS ALWAYS
CONFUSED EVEN THE ENTHUSED

I SEEK EXPLANATIONS IN WORDS
THOUGH ITS DEEDS THAT MATTER

I DISCOVER THE INSANITY IT INVOLVES
LIFE WASTED IN HANGING ON TO A WORD

AN ENDLESS WAIT THAT RESULTS IN
BREAKING UP OF HOMES AND HEARTS

PRECIOUS LIVES SACRIFICED AT THE
ALTER OF LOVE AND THEY SAY

TO GAIN SOMETHING YOU MUST
LEARN TO LOSE SOMETHING IN PAIN

IS ANYONE IN THIS WORLD ACTUALLY
ANY BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE?

IN TIME YOU WILL LEARN THAT TO BE
REALLY IN LOVE ONE HAS TO BE INSANE

YOU INSPIRE ME TO THINK
OF SOMETHING CALLED LOVE
