“It’s physical, only logical, you must try to ignore that it means more than that.” When this line echoes in your mind, it only means that you ignored it the first time you heard it. It is no use being sad or angry any more. You should have taken it with utmost consideration the first time you heard it. After all it was written from an experience by one of the best. I mean, she had nearly everything but came to this point. So, what’s love got to do with anything? Does it care who you are? Does it care what you do? Does it care how humane you try to be? How caring? How considerate? How peaceful? Anyway, it is just a second-hand emotion.
I pity the pure hearted lovers. The ones looking for a soul connection. A heart to heart, a fairytale like that from a romantic book, oh well, they should have known that it is just a tale. The ones who give love and expect nothing in return but love and respect. But all they get is a step on their fragile hearts. Because love is just a single-fashioned notion.
Love will leave you questioning yourself, where you went wrong, why are you never enough, despite everything you do, you always come in second, you are always scared that if you are not perfect you will lose the love you got. But what’s love got to do with it? What’s love if it means you have to lose yourself to get loved?
Sometimes we misguidedly think that our source of happiness is in the arms of another person. That the feeling of being wanted is the ultimate meaning of happiness, so much that we lose sight of the stresses that come with trying to hold onto something that hurts so bad but since we think it is “written in the stars” we have to make it work. Regardless of the mental strain it would cost. The betrayal, the distrust. We forget that we are human (in the name of love) and everyone is out to protect their interests. Good only when we are bound to benefit and if the tides get rough we can switch up. But what’s love got to do with it?
The lyrics to this song is a lesson that love should not hurt you. Love should not take you to places that you would regret, no matter how nice you try to be, love is illogical and what we think is love is just a gut feeling caused by physical attraction we have for someone. Love is the fear of being alone, the fear of feeling rejected, but when we open our eyes to reason, we probably get used as much as we use others.
