This is love This is pain disguised as a dream Memories Are guaranteed to break your heart. Look at me I woke up and found me alone I wonder If you'll ever think of me. I won't cry Now you're gone I won't cry. I should take Your picture From the wall. This is love What's it for? It takes everything.
