Cannonball

Love is like a cannon ball
Open the door
or it will use the wall
And blow your heart
into smithereens
and leave the prettiest mess
that you've ever seen

But how does it go
when you're on your own?
Love is a river
you're a sinking stone
It rose like the sun
light filled up your home
but it sank like a bomb
and left you shivering to the bone

Love is like a speeding train
It'll take you where you're going
unless your standing in its way
And then it blows
you right off the track
and leaves you with regrets
that you can never take back

But these are the instruments
we all paint with
The pigment of a prayer
the water of a myth
And we can destroy
the only reason to live
or we can create
what they say don't exist

And it all just turns
to fire and rain
And you will never be the same again
It's true, you may just be a pawn in the game
But then again, this may be no game at all
Love's a cannon ball
