THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
BACK
I used to believe in love
but love betrayed me
what else can I believe in
when only love can save me
I used to believe I could unconditionally
trust my own senses
but now at every turn I find
I'm trapped by my own defenses
I've been betrayed by love
don't tell me about a god above
when the truth in my own heart
has lied to me
I've been betrayed by love
every dream I ever dreamed of
crumbled and dissolved into
sheer misery
now I find myself drowning
in a pool of my own tears
consumed from within by doubt
blinded by my own fears
cuz love betrayed me
love betrayed me
what can I do
my sanity
hangs by a thread
I'm numb in my head
my heart's on hold in
passion's poverty
I used to believe in love
but love betrayed me
I want to believe in love
but love dismayed me
I used to believe in my own sanity
now everything's in doubt
an empty echo fills my mind
screaming "what is life all about?"
I've been betrayed by love
there's no hope for me above
when I gave love my whole soul
and it buried me
I've been betrayed by love
there's nothing left to dream of
reason doesn't make sense now
just misery
now I find myself wasted
in a sea of apathy
consumed from within by doubt
blinded by what I see
cuz love betrayed me
love betrayed me
what can I do
my sanity
hangs by a thread
I'm numb in my head
and my heart's lost in
passion's poverty
Passion's Poverty
(Love Betrayed Me)
