Young Love Doesn't Last (Kill Your Hope)

Biting tongues and talking teeth,

you play at heights with my heart,

I try to dance around the words,

I try to let myself fall apart,

I ask all those near me if this is new,

they nod and laugh at my naïve disposition,

they tell me that it doesn't last, that the world is cruel,

I taste bitter words at this awful tradition.

Curiosity killed my mind and the ambition to chase is fruitless,

let love be defined, even when the people are ruthless.
