What Is Love? - The Story Of A Broken Heart

Listen up friends, I got some advice
Cause I learned my lessons 'bout love
I got to know it's costs it's price
And that sometimes it can be quite rough

You know some time ago, it was love that I found
It seemed like the greatest adventure to me
It was like my life started from a new ground
Became an all new place-to-be

There was a young woman for who from my heart
I felt love pouring out so fierce and strong
I knew, I loved her right from the start
And would have loved her all my life long

But, woman's heart, who knows it, mate?
It's full of mysteries, of unknown ways
For I've been a sucker to my fate
No I'm one, who's lonely all days

My girl took my heart and then walked away
And left me all alone in my sorrow
I'm finished, finished with dream, hope 'n' pray
For I'll have to worry about tomorrow

So, now I see love through different eyes
And I ask: What, at least, does love mean?
Does it mean telling sweet little lies
Promise things, that've never been seen?

Seen realistic - isn't love just chemistry?
Ain't it only some reactions inside of you?
Neurotransmitters in great activity
Make you feel love, seems so true!

We're all just our nature's fools
Controlled by chemical processes
They make us "feel", our life they rule
This at least our brain suppresses

Love is a feeling? An eternal illusion!
So defined, rational, scientific and boring
Why does it cause so much confusion?
It keeps the whole mankind still roaring

The truth I've found: Love ain't no feeling!
It's just some kind of strange brain-peeling

It's not your friend, it'll break your heart
And rip your soul and your dreams apart

Love is only chemistry
A fool is, who does this not see!

But...

If it's that easy, why does it hurt so much
And why does it take all my happiness?
Why do you search for it, for the big catch
To put a stop at your loneliness?

In the end, I'm at the start again
And now and for all my life
I have to admit, my trusty friend
Without love, man won't survive
