True Love
To think that true love exists,
My friend, you are a fool.
You need to learn this lesson now
Because life is all too cruel.
You want true love to find you,
This idea you want to believe.
I’ll be the only one to tell you the truth
My friend, you have been deceived.
True love is but a childish fantasy,
You’ll find there is no such thing.
It is only a foolish idea,
Yet one you seem to cling.
I am going to make you understand,
If it is the last thing I do.
I will save you much heartache, you will find
This to be true.
Take it from someone who knows,
True love is but a myth.
If you learn it now, you won’t be disappointed
When you find true love just doesn’t exist.
You may one day meet a man,
And he will promise you the world.
But it will crush your spirit when
The truth starts to unfurl.
He won’t give you the world, but
He will give you pain.
He will be long gone when
It slowly drives you insane.
True love just isn’t out there.
This, a fact I know.
You see, in the end
We will all die alone.
You need to understand that
The advice I am trying to impart,
Well, it is for your own good
That you will never suffer a broken heart.
I hope that you have listened
To all that I have said.
To understand true love doesn’t exist
So a tear will never be shed.
