it was at that birthday party where i first met her and i swear it was fate the sparkle in her eyes caught me by surprise i didn t want to give myself away three am rolled around talked of life s ups and downs common dreams common goals down the same road it was perfect or so it seemed let me tell you what i mean she got me going like a puppet on a string she cut me loose and made me think it ain t no thing now she wonders why we don t hang out as much sometimes it s safe to say love sucks she s just a friend nothing more is what i told myself but then she started my way everyday she called my phone want me for her own i m a stupid guy what can i say love sucks when the pieces seem to fit when you take a swing and miss it with nothing left to savor love sucks when the hands you hoped to hold throw you out in the cold night and you ve become a stranger
