I've Been Around
 
I've fallen in and out of love
Learning things only time can teach
So don't say the three little words
For love is more than just a speech.
 
In order to stay alive
Love needs a common ground.
Show me in actions not in words.
I know because I've been around.
 
Please don't tell me any more lies.
I have wasted enough early years.
I've seen many lonely nights
Dissolve into disappointed tears.
 
You paint me a pretty picture
As we view the midnight moon.
But in my world it's really gray
As worlds break apart too soon.
 
Love is like a gentle rain
Falling softly without a sound
Yet disappears so quickly.
I know because I've been around.
