Viewing lyrics for Anything but Love by arielle.

You're looking for commitment, but all you ever find's addiction,
Swallow men like they're your drug, but all you want is love.
Well, we're all desperate to replace the emptiness we come to face
When somebody does you wrong, got you crying all night long.
I have to wonder if the cause lies in our genetic flaws,
If that first love isn't there are we searching anywhere?
Oh, if Daddy doesn't love you, you'll find any man who'll hold you,
Jumping in and out of beds, wearing nothing but regrets,
Swallowed down and spit back up, this is anything but love.

Alright now stop -- let's go back to the beginning.
Your good intent struck out in the final inning.
Did you really think he'd love you if you let him have all of you from the start?
Did you really think he'd try to, once he got himself inside you, find his way to your heart?
No.

Alright now stop -- baby tell me why you do this.
Your good intent is sounding more like poor excuses.
I know you're searching here for something, but please understand this one thing,
He won't give you peace of mind.
But there's a love that hides inside you,
If you can find it, it defines you, so be kind.

But you think maybe, maybe he will be 'the one', maybe he can hold this 'love' that I know nothing of.
But maybe's, they can waste your life away, maybe is no place to stay, baby get the hell away.
