Love Is Not Real/Next Time You Stab Me in the Back
There have been many sightings
Of love in truth
The skeptic in me longs for
To see of love some proof
Only for you does this happen
Only for you do I care
Love is not real
Love is a hoax
It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
It's somewhere far
No man I've ever known's
Come close
It can be vicious, heartless,
Dire and cruel
In spite of my mind, my heart longs
To find fire and fuel
Only for you do I do this
Only for you do I care
Love is not real
Love is a hoax
It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
I's somewhere far
No man I've ever known's
Come close
My girlfriend doesn't want
To know me
And my friends think
I've lost the plot
I have become a liability
I got to do something
But I don't know what
I'm hearing voices and
I can't see straight
I think I might be going insane
Can't make my own decisions
And I just can't wait
To mess it all up again
I never thought that
I would succeed
Beyond the wildest dreams
I've ever dreamt
But everything's become so
Hackneyed
Familiarity only breeds contempt
I'm ruining your life
I'm bored with mine
I'm acting like I couldn't care less
Another bottle and another line
Another strange to undress
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face
When you forget
What you cannot forgive
The terms are so much easier to
Come to with
When we look at what
We're going through
And desaturate
Until everything is simple
Love or hate
Lover or hate
I have been searching my soul
I've seen the brightest star
I've seen the blackest hole
I've found a way to cope with every
Twist of fate
Now everything is simple
Love or hate
Love or hate
Next time you stab me in the back
You'd better do it to my face
And when that love comes crawling
Back to me to say
I've been away
Now please let me stay with the
No way
Never again will I do this
Never again will I care
Love is not real
Love is a hoax
It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
It's just a dream
I've had so many night's alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
It's somewhere far
No man I've ever known's
Come close
Of love in truth
The skeptic in me longs for
To see of love some proof
Only for you does this happen
Only for you do I care
Love is not real
Love is a hoax
It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
It's somewhere far
No man I've ever known's
Come close

Dire and cruel
In spite of my mind, my heart longs
To find fire and fuel
Only for you do I do this
Only for you do I care
Love is not real
Love is a hoax
It's just a dream
I've had so many nights alone
Love is not here
Love is somewhere else
