In love as in life everyone does not win
And though to love one who does not love you cannot be a sin
Unrequited love for one does not end well
Self condemned to live lovesick for years in one's own lovesick hell
Who loves us or not is not for us to choose
In love as in life some are destined to lose
And love seldom lasts until death does us part
And few things are sadder than a lovesick heart
The praises of love popular singers do sing
And to fall in love is such a natural thing
But the feeling of love ache can linger for years
And the tears of lost love are such sorrowful tears
In life as in love some destined to lose out
One has to say this is what living's about.
