Shima - Song Of Lost Love lyrics

rate me

When I was young I didn't care for love songs

I thought all that despair was just for show

But I had never felt a broken heart in those days

You have to feel it for yourself to know

I used to think the blues was all self-pity

I used to think that love was just a game

But now I know the game is more like war when you lose

And now self-pity is my middle name

A sigh is just a sigh

A kiss is just a kiss

And if you believe that

You are not prepared for this

'Cause this is a song of lost love and heartbreak

For all those who've been put back on the shelf

And just in case you don't feel like feeling sorry for me

Hope you don't mind while I feel sorry for myself

With all the problems in the world to sing of

I have some nerve to sing about my own

My problems seem a bit worse then the rest just right now

Do broken hearts hurt more than broken bones

This song is not for those who haven't got a care

It's for those of us who have only blues to share

This is a song of lost love and heartbreak

For those who've been left hanging out to dry

And just in case you don't have some extra tears to shade for me

Well you can borrow some of these here in my eyes

I tried to sing a happy song

I'll be damned if I could

'Cause this song is a song of love

And love ain't always good
