Asylum (An Original Song) – Because Love Makes You Nuts.

by admin

 

Love is a trap.

Or at least, sometimes it really feels like that.

They say love is suppose to set you free, and it does. It makes you a better person too. But at the same time, it also “traps” you, because once you’re in it, it’s something you don’t ever wanna walk away from, even if you could.

It is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world – to love and be loved.

And although you don’t need drugs to get that “high” you get from love, love has it’s own addicts.

People in love sometimes do the craziest of things, both good and bad, because of love.

And as much as you’re crazy about each other, sometimes you just argue like there’s no one else you hate more in the world than each other. It’s almost as if the more you love someone, the “uglier” the arguments can get when you argue.

And sometimes, with enough courage or boldness (or foolishness), you force yourself to walk away from someone else’s love, only to find that you can never escape it after all. Cos wherever you go, he or she’s still on your mind. Damn it!

Honestly, that just sucks.

Big time.

I hate that feeling.

So I wrote a song about it, long time ago – “Asylum”.

 

Asylum

 

I am hopelessly lost without you – I am scared

And I pretend so well that I don’t need you, but then I’m sad

 

How many times must I be punished?

How many times must I self-afflict these pains?

Oh, when I’m made for you, and you’re made for me

We’re trapped in an asylum, but you hold the key

I know I go crazy but baby I’m mad about you

If you jump, I jump

If you fall, I fall

I can’t run away, where there’s me, there’s you.

Sometimes I go crazy, but baby I’m just mad about you

 

Now I finally know that love isn’t always so fun

Yeah, I finally know how it feels to need someone

How many times must you make me so angry?

But how many times have I been so happy? Yeah…

Cos I’m made for you, and you’re made for me

We’re trapped in an asylum, but you hold the key

I know I go crazy but baby I’m just mad about you, yeah…

If you jump, I jump

If you fall, I fall

I can’t run away, where there’s me, there is you.

Sometimes I go crazy, but baby I’m mad about you
Oh, how I lose my mind

Oh, but how in losing I find

That no one could make me so selfless and so sure

Oh….

 

Cos I’m made for you, and you’re made for me

We’re trapped in an asylum, but you hold the key

I know I go crazy but baby I’m mad about you, yeah…

If you jump, I jump

If you fall, I fall

I can’t run away, where there’s me, there is you.

Sometimes I go crazy, but baby I’m mad about you

 

Thankfully, love matures – it doesn’t stay too crazy all time.

And though it requires effort, it is truly something worth fighting for 🙂

 

That said, that only applies to a love that works both ways.

Never stay in a abusive relationship or with someone who does not love you. Never lie about how he or she really feels about you.

You CAN choose to love and unlove, and you CAN choose to be happy.

This was an important lesson my mom taught me – one I will cherish forever.

We can always be happier by making wiser decisions in what we want, what we do, how we feel and how we respond to the people and things around us 🙂
