Love Refrains

Music by Perry Hart
Lyrics by Scott Patrick Wagner

Don’t listen to a love song
Life’s never like the lyric
Don’t dream of love on moonlit nights
Love’s not to atmospheric

You lose your mind
You find your soul
Then you fall in love
And you’ve lost control

Don’t try to live a love song:
Heart’s bursting with emotion
Don’t cry when you’re alone again
So much for true devotion

You love the love
You find the pain
When the song turns sad, will you ever love again?
Someone tell me when.

You can plan from the start
And go to work on your dreams
Build a world that is strong and true
But then a voice in your heart, with its nefarious schemes
Turns a rose-colored world to blue
When the colors change, so do you

I never hear the love songs
My heart is just for beating
I don’t remember sad refrains
Some songs don’t bear repeating

I lost my joy
I lost my heart
What I learned from love was, I’d rather not be smart
Wish I’d known the risk from the start.
