Love vs. Loneliness Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How can you love someone
If you think that you're no one?
When you mistreat yourself, and think it's all you deserve
Cause it's so hard to care
Is this love or is it loneliness?

[Verse 2]
How can you demand respect
When you have no respect?
When you abuse your body, never mind your mind
And you're your own worst victim
There'll be no love, just loneliness

[Verse 3]
Why do you force a smile
When you know all the while
That you're burning inside, but don't want no one to know
The hell that you're in
As love turns to loneliness?

[Verse 4]
How can you sleep at night
When you know it's not alright?
When you wake up in the morning, nothin' has changed
If you do nothin' about it
Love becomes loneliness

[Chorus]
Love vs loneliness
Love vs loneliness
Love vs loneliness
Love vs loneliness

[Bridge]
When you're down and you think you need something
The temptation's too hard to resist
But what you grab sure ain't what you needed
That's not love, it's loneliness
When you're lonely and you think you need someone
The plot takes a painful twist
There ain't no one that can make you feel like someone
Only you can cure the loneliness

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
How can you be confident
When you're all wrong with it?
When you know what you're doing, and you're doing it wrong
It's no misunderstanding
This ain't love, this is loneliness

[Outro]
How can you love someone
If you think that you're no one?
