Love Is Greed Lyrics - Gossamer (2 Lp /1 Cd) - Passion Pit

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 

A vision of those scared to be near 

Don't wanna love, don't wanna hurt 

If all that loneliness requires 

Just another's comfort 

Better off being alone on your own 

'Cause the beauty in being alone 

Someday we'll all agree, it's not worth making 

Another person that is yours for the taking 

Or you're hoping and praying 

We'll do more than saying that 

Love, love, love, love is just greed 

It's almost taking me 

And now I can see 

Love, love, love, love is just greed 

It's selfish and mean 

It follows all you lead 

If we really love ourselves, or you love somebody else 

A love to us, a love to them 

It's just a history of beauty 

In self time and time again 

Love is not a veil to hide your voice 

All this talk of love just turns to noise 

Say you want love, a love so tough 

But even all this truth 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 

Or you're hoping and praying 

We'll do more than saying that 

Love, love, love, love is just greed 

It's almost taking me 

And now I can see 

Love, love, love, love is just greed 

It's selfish and mean 

It follows all you lead 

If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else 

Love all gone is just another story 

Of what's gone sour once was glory, glory 

Soon as you want it, ask for them 

Honey could you put your arms around me slow 

Tell me things about you that I wouldn't know 

And tell me that you love me like you do 

Love, love, love, love is just greed 

It's almost taking me 

And now I can see 

Love, love, love, love is just greed 

It's selfish and mean 

It follows all you lead 

If we really love ourselves, how do you love somebody else
