Love Doesn't - Rocksteady TNT

Love is a lesson
That we all must learn
You could spend your whole life
Chasing your heart's concerns
Wondering what love is
And why it ain't returned—
Like it's something everyone has
But you haven't earned

Hearts can break
Feelings you can't shake
What you thought was love
Was just a big mistake
Started off blind
But now you're wide awake
And all the while you thought
It'd be a piece of cake

Love doesn't feel so cruel
Or make you feel like a fool
It doesn't play a twisted game
With no one there to explain the rules

Love doesn't make you feel blue
All lonely and subdued
Or drill a hole inside your heart
With a pain you can't undo

Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is always better
When you take your time
But there are sometimes
You might find
That the one you're waiting for
Has left you behind

Love doesn't brag
And love doesn't boast
It doesn't dangle promises
With little hope
It won't leave you hanging
Off a cliff without a rope—
Gotta scrub that kind of love off
With a bar of soap

Love doesn't draw you near
Then whisper in your ear
'This has been so fun
But now I need to disappear'

Love doesn't hold you tight
Then vanish in the night
Leaving you to wonder:
Was it all a dream, or was it right?

Love doesn't demand
It's own way
Gotta be free to
Have your own say
There's always gotta be
A little give and take—
Bend a little
'Cause if it's
Brittle it'll break

Love doesn't
Get angry fast
Doesn't keep a tally of
Everything in the past
Turn bright sunshine
To overcast
Warm and cozy
To an arctic blast

Love doesn't
Play silly games
Then come crashing
Down in flames
And the very next day, say:
'Baby can we try again?'

Love doesn't
Mess with your brain—
Should never feel like
Such a drain
Or feel like
You've just been run over
By a big freight train
