We're all the same,
so why do we love?
why do we cheat?

We're all scared,
we're all scared of getting hurt,
that's why we hurt people,
that's why we cheat,
but why do we love?

We love to feel,to feel something,
we love to not be scared,
to not hurt,
and when we feel safe,
we get scared,
so we hurt others, so we don't hurt,
And it starts all over again.
