Love By John Carter

I never believed in love
Until I realized it was gone
And there was this pain in my chest
Like something had just shriveled up inside
And lain down to die

I thought it was OK
To just say the words
And never mean them
Until I didn't say the words
But I did mean them

And the part of me that died
Was some stupid little thing
Something superfluous
I never knew was there
And I can live without it
But somehow
There doesn't seem to be a reason
Anymore.
