When Love Doesn’t Come Naturally

When love doesn’t come naturally
I lie awake at night
When love doesn’t come naturally
The future isn’t very bright
When love doesn’t come naturally
I cry in my bed
When love doesn’t come naturally
Sometimes I wish I was dead

When all you can feel is like the thorns on a thousand roses
When someone gives you a gift its like a poisonous oasis
People that care, can’t help
People that don’t care, rant and yelp
People that should care, are why you are where you are
People that did care, only left another scar

When love doesn’t come naturally
Humans don’t believe the truth when you tell it
When love doesn’t come naturally
Some think your crazy, while the sane just sees grit
When love doesn’t come naturally
Those that reared you don’t care if you fall
When love doesn’t come naturally
It seems like your whole life has been a last call

When your dreams and goals are burning inside with passion
When life takes hold it’s worse than a death grip of a ghost vanishing
People that care, are stuck in the same boat
People that don’t care, sulk and gloat
People that should care, secretly laugh at you
People that did care, let their hollowness seep through

If I could leave a legacy before I possibly die with inadequacy
I want to at least be the man that’s there for others,
When. love. doesn’t. come. naturally.
