Song Five - Not in Love

My heart is broken today
I don't know why it shattered this way
Sometimes I just break up with the world

And everything looks dreary
and everything tastes bitter
and everything sounds horrendous
and I'm not even hungover
I'm just not in love with the world

My head is filled today
With all the bad news from yesterday
I read the paper, what a mistake

And everything looks bleak
and everything tastes bland
and everything sounds weak
and I don't think I can stand it
I'm not in love with the world

My eyes are filling up
With all tears of broken trust
I had such faith in today

And everything looks dark
and everything tastes old
and everything sounds out of tune
and everything is so cold
I'm just not in love with the world

I want to be in love with the world
I want to be in love with the world
I want to be in love with the world
I want to be in love with the world
I want to be in love with the world

Well I'm never sure what to think when the song is done, I'm learning to just trust and post. This seems to be a favorite and I'm so glad I stuck with it. The idea came from joking around one morning when I complained that my coffee tasted really bitter and everything felt off. "I'm just not in love with the world today."

Today's song is about one third written, it seems to work best when I write in the morning but than take a break and get on with my day - recording and posting at night. It means the east coast has to wait until tomorrow, but them's the breaks kids.
