The Hopeless Romantic

I'm tired of chasing love
I wish that it would leave
I do not need this pain
Or no longer now believe

My heart has been broken
One too many times
And no longer will I praise
Love with words that rhyme

I write this out of spite
With what it does to me
Nothing can be worth
This pain eventually

It just seems more like fate
That it will end this way
No matter how much I give
Love will never stay

No matter how good it is
As always in the start
It doesn't help you when
You've torn in two your heart

It will never mend
This pain you'll always feel
And one day you will find
That love was never real

So tell me what's the point?
With trying to move on
Yes maybe I'll fall in love
But then it will be gone

It becomes a vicious cycle
When love is used to lure
To try and mend your heart
In the hope that it will cure

So please forgive me now
When you're passing through
If we catch our eyes
I know it won't be true

I think it will be better
If I walk right past
What's the point of giving in?
When it doesn't last

Yes right back at the start
I once thought love was strong
With the way I'm feeling now
Maybe I was wrong

Until I turn around
And see you too persist
It's only then I realise
That love I can't resist
