Lovely Injustice
You think you love someone
Then after its done
Hits the reality wrecking realization that it never was real
But you brush it off as a side effect of your ordeal
So often we've run opposite the truth
The proof
Is in how we lie to those we claim to care for
For example, if they are a currently renovating store
You are already shopping on the aisles
Your love is concentrated on your idea of them all the while
Both are wasting valuable time loving a thought
Only after do we see the havoc our actions have wrought
Oh the injustice of it all
We enjoy standing tall
On the foundation of love or so we think
The reason so many relationships are on the brink
Is because there isn't enough love for each other
Instead of thinking about your future baby girl and her brother
Think about now because that's when forever starts
Fall in love with the person not the brain fart
You had about what they could be
Look at what they are, how free
It will feel to truly say I love someone
Forever will never be all fun
But it will be worth the price
To be able to truly love that special person in your life
It took me a long time and a lot of headaches to see
That the only problem with my love life was me
And my love for the ideas of who people could be
Then getting upset when my utopian idea was met with reality
It was there all along
Love overlooks things but it shouldn't be so strong
That sight of who they really are is lost
Thats a high cost
One no one should have to pay
But we do everyday
That we love ideas
