Love Letter

[Verse 1]
Why can't love be cut and dry?
Who can tell me how it works and why?
I've got piles of smoldering wreckage on each side
From relationships whose flames have died
I don't want your blood upon my hands
Please try to understand

[Verse 2]
Does love have a user's guide?
There's no method that I haven't tried
But my each attempt has left a ghost
In place of friendships treasured most
I don't want regret on either part
Please try to gard your heart

[Chorus]
I'm trying to learn from my every burn
The only certainty I find is I can trust
My fickle heart to change its mind

[Verse 3]
Is love meant to be a light?
Why, then, am I stumbling through the night
Seeking shelter that I may survive
Praying I'll know what to do when I arrive
It has always been a guessing game
And I have no one to blame

[Chorus]
I'm trying to learn from my every burn
The only certainty I find is I can trust
My fickle heart to change its mind

[Verse 4]
This is where our paths divide
Please place your objections to the side
You will find someone who's sweet and good
Instinctively she'll treat you as she should
Though it's torture now to set you free
I am trying to do this selflessly
That's what I take love to be
In time you will agree
