Thought I knew the purest love
Once upon a time
Felt it engraved in my bones
That it even made me shine

I spent a long time
Resisting to see the signs
Fighting geographic limits
Writing some poetic lines

They said that love ain't easy
And if it is it ain't right
And I bought it without questioning
Along with all those sleepless nights

Associated this feeling to ups and downs
A whirlwind
Drama after drama
And lie after lie

But who would've said I would come to realize
That to be passionate you don't really have to die
That caring isn't the same as controlling
And peace and happiness walk side by side

I've been developing all these preferences
Now I just need to clean up my mind
Substitute all the vicious references
With ones that are worthy of my precious life

But there's no need to forget
This cheap love I put myself in
If any I should include it in my morning Thank You's
It reminds me of where I have been

Because who would I be
If I hadn't experienced this whole story
There are scars it's crystal clear
But I now expose them with glory

And though I still repeat some old patterns
I'm learning to leave them behind
No longer attached to what was
Not searching for something to find

So I'm sorry if you sometimes pay the price
For this cheap, cheap love of mine
But stick around and with some patience
I will make it worth your time

So I am sorry for this cheap love of mine
But stick around
I'll be better
This time
