Lyrics
USELESS LOVE
Loving you is like chasing rainbows
Or, casting pearls into the ocean
The tides highs and lows
Leave me longing for your devotion
I am at stake, on the fire
Begging the wind
Craving satisfaction for my desire
A passion only imagined
Pre-Chorus: My love is useless if I can't give it to you
As barren as the desert sand
My affections taboo, and forbidden
Rejection can't be part of the plan
Chorus: You wrote the song in my heart
The melody plays all the time
I try to write the lyric
But, without you, there is no rhyme...
Or, a reason to even try
I know love's inspiration
Without ever knowing why
I'd hitch my wagon to a star
To turn the wheel of destiny
A notion, maybe a little bizarre
But my one chance at ecstasy
Pre-Chorus: My love is useless if I can't give it to you
I don't want to be just one, and lonely
I want us to be you and me
Knowing the love that's meant to be
Chorus: You wrote the song in my heart
The melody plays all the time
I try to write the lyric
But, without you, there is no rhyme...
Or, a reason to even try
I know love's inspiration
Without ever knowing why
Tag: To have a little bit of heaven before I die
Something dreams are made of
With a ghost of a chance, I'd reach for the sky
To know the sweetness of a truelove
To know the sweetness of a truelove
......useless love,
......useless, my love is useless.
