And Then You Love Someone

He said "John I do believe I've seen Virginia to the end

I find myself about as far as I can go

It culminated late last night

From pointed fingers starting fires that burned since years ago

We've fallen out of love."

I said "friend, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear

Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear

You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along

And then you love someone, but not 'til then

You love someone"

Haunted by computer screens

The world around him

Grass was greener on the other end

She could see it in his eyes

The love had left and it had died

And she was left that way

With nothing left for her to say

So she said "Love, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear

Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear

You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along

And then you love someone but not 'til then

You love 'til then you love."

It took love to finally see the pointed fingers back at me

A silent mouth, a broken heart, a sword retired.

So a sword retired

It's a sword retired

Yes a sword retired

It's a sword retired

I said "Friend, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear

Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear

You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along

And then you love someone but not 'til then

You love someone"
