True story I loved her with all my heart And I wore my heart inside out Cheerful and loud She loved me She turned heads when walking on streets In spite of the fear I could lose her My ego grew big Her pretty face, seductive ways, the spell she cast with her eyes Her body glowing on Saturday nights We were so young I was unarmed and didn’t care much for soul I’d lost my reason, lust had taken control In the name of love Surrender your ego, give up your pride If you seek true love Your mind and your heart shouldn’t fight Real love won’t hurt Remember, before lying to yourself Love can die away Into your lies Heartbroken I choked on my suffering Hurting myself while I asked her Was he better than me? She told me She’d waited too long for a change I was so in love with my own self To fill her needs I cried to her I want you back, I want you back in my life Who was really begging? My love or my pride? In the name of love Surrender your ego, give up your pride If you seek true love Your mind and your heart shouldn’t fight Real love won’t hurt Remember before lying to yourself Love can die away Into the lies Love’s not defined by the self and desire This is what they teach us our dreams should portray Love is about finding peace in your lover Put all fears behind, build on friendship and trust In the name of love Surrender your ego, give up your pride If you seek true love Your mind and your heart shouldn’t fight Real love won’t hurt Remember, before lying to yourself Love can die away Into the lies Real love, real love won’t hurt In the name of love Real love, real love won’t hurt
