I throw my arms up in the air
Again, love has left me in despair
Taking me on a merry-go-round
Until I no longer heard a sound
No infectious laughter, no sweet words
No labored breathing, I feel so absurd
For one moment in time l let love in
Forgetting it is such a dangerous sin
It had me fooled with its beauty & poise
Its glitter & fanfare was just empty noise
Seems like I will never learn
That love\'s only aim is to watch you burn
I sit with my tears & my broken heart
Promising myself from love I\'ll depart
My heart has been hardened & never again
Will I ever allow it to let love back in
