Secret Formula

Have you figured it out yet
That secret formula to know true love
Have you wrapped your mind around
All that is required
To see the fruits of your labour of love
You sing your love songs
Romance and chemistry and happiness
But what does it say
How do you feel
When the one that you love doesn't need you the same
Anymore
You throw your body away
You think that it must be the way to find
Love
But the only thing you find
Is the empty pages of
Your dry eyes
'Cause you can't even feel anymore
It's getting harder to find
Someone
Who you can feel
Close to
Your cynical eyes
Just drive right by
The ones that would
Keep you safe inside
'Cause LOVE
Isn't a game that you play
It's not the dark eyes and dark skin of last night's
Escapades
It isn't the feeling of barely breathing when you see him smile at you
Oh, you're so tired of feeling empty
And you wonder if you'll ever find
Your soul
How vacant can you be
As vacant as is possible
It seems to me
You've been looking for a love that can't be found
In any human eyes
Stop lookin around
He's always been right here
