MICHAEL-JOHN STRATFORD - SEACHING FOR LOVE Lyrics

In a world where shadows play
The lines between right and wrong are gray

She seeks the thrill in the bad boy's gaze
Ignores the good man's quiet praise
Chasing dreams of wild romance
Leaves her heart in a fragile dance

He waits, a patient soul in the night
Hoping she'll see his gentle light
But her eyes are drawn to the flame
Where the fire burns and he's to blame

High standards, perfect illusions
Feed the lonely heart's delusions
Men and women, both the same
In this love and war game

He drives the car, the lavish life
But hides the scars of endless strife
She wants the prince in shining gold
Yet fears the love that's true and bold

Birthrates fall, hearts grow cold
In a tale that's ancient, yet retold
Society sick, lost in the chase
For a perfect love in a flawed space

We paint pictures of perfection
Yet ignore the true connection
Lonely nights and empty days
A reflection of our ways

Women can be cruel and fierce
In this tale, they too pierce
Violence knows no gender's face
In the human heart's dark place

Good men walk, their spirits tired
From chasing dreams, love conspired
And women too, with hearts so worn
Seek a love, forever torn

In the end, we all must see
Love's not perfect, let it be
Drop the masks, the high demands
Find true love with open hands
