That’s Why Love Is Hell

She wore widow's weeds
She taught me how to be free
Skimming the waves of sleep
She showed me how to fall deep

There were lines on her face
Reminders of the way she used to laugh
Laughter like the ringing of a communion bell
That’s why, that's why, that's why, that’s why
That's why love is hell

Between the sin and the confession
Between the desire and the obsession
Between the belief and thе doubt
Between the thirst and the drought

Lovе is the debris
In the space between you and me
Between the drug and the blood cell
That's why, that's why, that's why, that's why
That's why love is hell

I'm not here anymore
I just disappeared like a prisoner of war
I’ve been gone so long and you couldn’t even tell
That's why, that’s why, that's why, that's why
That's why love is hell
