Passion Pit - Love Is Greed lyrics

rate me

You want a love, a love for us

You want a selfless love

That we can always say we trust, oh

Love has always been a mockery

A vision of those scared to be near

Don’t wanna love, don’t wanna hurt

If all that loneliness requires

Just another’s comfort

Better off being alone on the road

Cause the beauty in being alone

Someday we’ll all agree, it’s not worth making

Another person that is yours for the taking

Or you’re hoping you’re praying

We’ll do more than saying that

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s almost taking me

And now I can see

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s selfish and mean

It follows all you lead

Is we really love ourselves, or you love somebody else

A love to us, a love to them

It’s just a history of beauty

In self time and time again

Love is not as it’s to hide your voice

All this talk of love just turns to noise

Say you want love, a love so tough

But even all this truth don’t seem

As though they’re adding up, oh

Haven’t you already had enough

Was this suffering remind you of?

Someday we’ll all agree, it’s not worth making

Another person that is yours for the taking

Or you’re hoping you’re praying

We’ll do more than saying that

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s almost taking me

And now I can see

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s selfish and mean

It follows all you lead

Is we really love ourselves, or you love somebody else

Love all gone is just another story

Of what’s gone sour once was glory, glory

Soon as you ... them

Honey could you put your arms around me slow

Tell me things about you that I wouldn’t know

And tell me that you love me like you do ...

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s almost taking me

And now I can see

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s selfish and mean

It follows all you lead

Is we really love ourselves, or you love somebody else.
