Doug Kuony - Edge Of Excess

You know it's love, I know it's not
Just some dysfunction that we've got
If this is love, then tell me why
We always make each other cry

You think it's right, I think it ain't
It so quickly flips from love to hate
When it's right, it's almost magic
But mostly it's just truly tragic

Heaven knows that love is odd
For two souls so deeply flawed
Words could never, ever express
The twisted need that leads us
To the edge of excess

You call it love, I call it need
You call it passion, I call it greed
Is it truly love we make
As we trample on the hearts we break

You could wander far and wide
Through valleys to the mountain side
And I suspect you'd not detect
Another love that was such a wreck as ours

It's all about the sadness
And the pain we try to hide
The unacknowledged neediness
That haunts us deep inside
And so to hide our emptiness
We bluster and we bluff
But no matter how much love we get
It will never be enough

So, say I love you and I will too
That's simply what two lovers do
We look for love in each other's eye
The love we'll never recognize

Love is hopeless deep inside
When two empty hearts collide
More is never enough to redress
The twisted need that leads us
To the edge of excess
The twisted need that leads us
To the edge of excess
