It usually starts with a smile, sweet, innocent, magical. Then something inside you begins to spark, your heart skips just a beat faster, and there’s this overwhelming thrill that seems to last forever.
I told myself
When you smiled at me
This time it’s gonna be
Forever
Then suddenly, just when you thought things would go far, reality steps in and turns everything upside down. The love you thought would make you complete came along to bring you pain. And you didn’t see it coming.
I didn’t know
You would hurt me so
But from the very start
You are the one
Who would break my heart
As you start to wonder, you learn too late that you were led on, because love is not always what it seems. At times, it can be deceptive, and if you’re one of the less discerning, the discovery can change your view of forever.
You led me on
Pretending you could care
Promising the love we’d share
Together
In the end, you may end up walking away from love. The pain it caused changed you immensely, You are no longer the same person who believes in the beauty of true love, because someone you held dear has turned it into a losing game.
I’ve closed the door,
Can’t take it anymore
Love will never be the same
You turned it around
And you made it a game
Sometimes, when we look too hard for love, what we end up getting is the type that only brings heartaches. The search is not about finding love, but finding the lesson that love wants us to learn.
Coz I was looking for someone to love
And oh the heartaches I found
I was looking for someone to love
But you weren’t just looking around
“I Was Looking for Someone to Love” was performed by singer-actor and former teen-idol Leif Garrett from his 1979 album “Same Goes for You.” The song is a nostalgic reminder of Leif’s teen-idol years, when his music reached audiences worldwide.
Written by Michael Lloyd and Howard Greenfield, “I Was Looking for Someone to Love” failed to capture a spot in the major music charts, but proved to be a favorite in countries like the Philippines where Leif enjoyed a large following during the late 70s.
