What They Tell You

It’s true what they say
About being in love
About finding that person
And finally being enough

It’s true what they say
About falling apart
About being played and forgotten
And being left with a broken heart

It’s true what they say
About seeing the truth
About wanting to cry
And the sun never shining through

But what they never tell you
Is love doesn’t hurt
Heartbreak overpowers
And love is sold short

They fail to share
How wonderful love is
The magic, the moment
Of your very first kiss

The sparks, the joy
Like you’re alone in the world
Nothing is more special
Than the love between a boy and a girl.
