Four-Letter Words

How many four letter words do you know?

Four letter words that will tear you in two?

I know two, two words I’ve come to hate

How often their spoken without meaning

Spoken as if they’re just regular words

And how often they’ll tear your heart open

Hope, Love, I’ve given up on them

It’s not my fault; they gave up on me first

Hope for a new beginning

Hope that this time it’ll be different

Hope for a friend, hope for a better future

But if never happens, does it?

Hope’s an empty word, never to be fulfilled

I cry for the poor people that still believe

Hope, Love, I’ve given up on them

It’s not my fault; they gave up on me first

Love for another person

Love, so romantic, hearts and trust, so special

Love, passion, dedication, but all so fake

Go ahead and say it, it doesn’t mean anything

Love’s just another word, it means nothing

People are fools to think it’s ever real

Hope, Love, I’ve given up on them

It’s not my fault; they gave up on me first
