casualty of love

The silent night is keeping me from sleep
2 a.m., I'm running with bare feet
Heartbeat racing, I was just sixteen
Caught a taxi, hoping I'm not seen
So naive, I could not bear to wait

Oh, oh, what I didn't know
I never loved him so, what was real
And oh, he was a drug to me
But he's the casualty of love

Through my neighborhood, I didn't care
Nothing could stop me from getting there
Had a sickness, he was my medicine
So in lust, he could have been anyone
Not so special, Mum was right after all

Oh, oh, what I didn't know
I never loved him so, what was real
And oh, he was a drug to me
But he's the casualty of love

Mama was right there was no love
It's all in my mind
Just an obsession with him
What a waste of my time

Mama was right there was no love
It's all in my mind
Just an obsession with him
What a waste of my time

Oh, oh what I didn't know
I never loved him so, what was real
And oh, he was a drug to me
But he's the casualty of love
