   Love Is Tragic
   Love Is Bold
   You Will ALways Do What You Are Told
   Love Is Hard
   Love Is Strong
   You Will Never Say That You Were Wrong
   I Don't Know When I Got Bitter
   But Love Is Surely Better When It's Gone

   More Than I could Give
   More than I could handle
   In a life that I can't live
   You wanted more
   More than I could bear
   More than I could offer
   For a love that isn't there

   Love is color
   Love is loud
   Love is never saying that you're too proud
   Love is trusting 
   Love is honest
   Love is not a hand to hold you down
   I don't know when I got bitter
   But love is surely better when it's gone

   (Chorus)

   I got to pick me up when I am down
   I got to get my feet back on the ground
   I got to pick me up when I am down

   (Chorus)
