In this world, we're all in search for a counterpart But how can I decide what that is If I don't even know what I want? Mother told me, mother told me "When you grow up you will understand love's true meaning" But here I am and I can't pretend that I've seen Even a glimpse of that famed allure In my dreams, there's someone out there with a cure Can I convince myself that you're out there somewhere When my heart knows better? Taking my chances in a reckless pursuit of love I think I've found it, then I realize it's not enough Another failure tells me I should have known not to hold faith in my feelings They're always misleading me So tell me, where will I go? As amorous sparks pull me in The thrill of the chase clouds my mind again My caution has all been swept up by the wind And I know I don't stand a chance 'Cause when the fire dies Affection suffers its cold demise It happens every time I'm stricken with feelings I can't keep alive Can anybody here help me bury my doubt? What if I find you and you don't even want me? Can I convince myself that you're out there somewhere When my heart knows better? Taking my chances in a reckless pursuit of love I think I've found it, then I realize it's not enough Another failure tells me I should have known not to hold faith in my feelings They're always misleading me Where will I go?
