I don't get it,
Why hearts must ache
 Why tears must fall
And smiles, faked
 All the feeings, 
Emotions in this world
 The only one common
Is that from boy to girl
 Love, I don't get it
Everything in our lives
 People act like this is 
All we need to survive?
 The only thing 
In our society
 That is held as 
Such a priority
 Looks, family, and past
The color of your skin
 The only thing that matters
Is what you have within
 But, I do believe
It is the only thing
 That ever seem to cause
Hearts so much pain
 Love, a crazy ride
One you can't quit
 So I step back and say
"I don't get it?"
