Love Is Greed - 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

Evading love and scared to be near

Don’t wanna love, don’t wanna hurt

If all that loneliness requires

Is just another’s comfort

Better off being a lonely road

Cause there’s beauty in being alone

Today we’re arguing it’s not worth making

Another person that’s just 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 taken me

But now I can see

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s selfish and it’s mean

You follow or you lead

If we really love ourselves

How do you love somebody else

A love to us, a love to them

It’s just a history repeating itself

Time and time again

Love is not a veil to hide your voice

All this talk of love just turns to noise

So you want love, a love so tough

That even all these truths 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’s just 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 taken me

But now I can see

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s selfish and it’s mean

You follow or you lead

If we really love ourselves

How do you love somebody else

A love all gone is just another story

What’s gone sour once was glory, glory

If it’s romance you want then ask for it then

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

And maybe I will too

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s almost taken me

But now I can see

Love, love, love, love is just greed

It’s selfish and it’s mean

You follow or you lead

If we really love ourselves

How do you love somebody else
