Everyday, I see that tortured face
A broken picture with no sound
Tossed by the sea
A grown up on the beach
Another heart that's run aground

But nothing ever changes
No one ever learns
I was once that soldier
And ever since it burns

Can you blame me it if I think that love sucks?
Every time it lets you down
Every time you get messed around
Can I help it if I think that love sucks?
No matter what you say boy
I gotta tell ya love sucks

Is it me, am I the only fool to see?
Has the whole world gone awry?
I'd be insane
To make the same mistake again
And something tells me I'm gonna try
God knows why

A little self-delusion
A little too much wine
Then I'm Valentino
And I'm temporary blind

Can you blame me it if I think that love sucks?
It's nothing more that a cheap old trick
So why does everybody pay for it?
Can I help it if I think that love sucks?
No matter what you say girl
I gotta tell ya love sucks

So devious and sly
It'll stop at nothing
You'll believe that you can fly
It'll welcome you inside
For a bittersweet intricacy
Tragic carpet ride

Nothing ever changes
No one ever learns
I was once that soldier
And ever since it burns
Can you blame me it if I think that love sucks?
Every time it lets you down
Anytime you get messed around
Can I help it if I think that love sucks?
Yes it does

Can I help it if I think that love sucks?
No matter what you say boy
Love sucks
No matter what you say girl
Love sucks

It's a grand illusion
Conspiracy
Perpetrated by the chosen few
Who know the truth
That love sucks
