Passion Pit Love Is Greed lyrics

You want a love, a love for us
You want a selfless love
That we can always say we trust, oh
Love has always been a mockery
Of those in love and scared to be in your need

Don't wanna love, don't wanna hurt
If all that loneliness requires
Just another's comfort
Better off being all on your own
There's a beauty in being alone

Today we're arguing, it's not worth making
Another person that's just yours for the taking
All your hoping and praying won't do more than saying that

Love, love, love, love is just greed
It's almost taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love, love is just greed
A selfish little need
You follow or you lead
If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else?

A love to us, a love to them
It's just a history repeating itself time and time again
Love is not a veil to hide your voice
All this talk of love just turns to noise

So you want love, a love so tough
But even honest truths don't seem as though they're adding up, oh
Haven't you already had enough

What's this suffering remind you of?

Someday we'll all agree, it's not worth making
Another person that is yours for the taking
All your hoping and praying won't do more than saying, that

Love, love, love, love is just greed
It's almost taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love, love is just greed
A selfish little need
You follow or you leave
If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else?

A love all gone is just another story
Of what's gone sour once was glory, glory, hey
As soon as you want to ask of them
Honey could you put your arms around me so
Tell me things about you that I wouldn't know
And tell me that you love me like you do
And maybe I will, too

Love, love, love, love is just greed
It's almost taken me
But now I can see
Love, love, love, love is just greed
A selfish little need
You follow or you leave
If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else?
