Suicidal Tendencies - Love Vs Loneliness Lyrics






How can you love someone
If you think that you're no one
When you mistreat yourself,
and think it's all you deserve
Cause it's so hard to care
Is this or is it loneliness?

How can you demand respect - when you have no respect?
When you abuse your body, never mind your mind
And you're your own worst victim
There'll be no love just loneliness

Why do you force a smile - when you know all the while
That you're burning inside, but don't want no one to know
The hell that you're in
As love turns to loneliness

How can you sleep at night?
When you know it's not alright
When you wake up in the morning, nothin' has changed
If you do nothin' about it
Love becomes loneliness
Love vs loneliness, love vs loneliness

And when you're down and you think you need something
The temptations so hard to resist
But what you grab sure ain't what you needed
That's not love it's loneliness
And when you're lonely and think you need someone
The plot a painful twist
There ain't no one that can make you feel like someone
Only you can cure loneliness

How can you be confident when you're all wrong with it
When you know what you're doing and you're doing it wrong
It's no misunderstanding
This ain't love this is loneliness
How can you love someone - if you think that you're no one?

  1. H.... R....

    Which album was this on?

  2. C.... R....

    Mannnn ST’s Suicidal For Life record is super dope. One of my favorites in their catalog and it’s the record nobody remembers. You can’t even get it on iTunes. I had to cop a CD on amazon. Crazy. I don’t even have a CD player anymore. Haha

  3. N.... R....

    Not gunna lie always liked this album , The production everything it’s almost like they’re black album but it’s 1000 times better than the black album

  60. A.... S....

    deep lyrics

  61. N.... D....

    ST for life!

  62. W.... H....

    Rocky George is the unsung lead guitar hero and the King of Artificial Harmonics (screaming effect). He knows where to put them in his solos. It's a very hard technique though. I'm 39 and I'm still trying to hone it.

    W.... H....

    Walter Harris, i agree, he is a beast.

    W.... H....

    @TEEvaryou can do a harmonic good for you.. peanuts little boy

    W.... H....

    So your 43 now, same age here

    W.... H....

    @Sean Devlin rocky is in cro mags, he did the revenge album

    W.... H....

    Rocky George is one of the best lead guitarists, but the title "king of artificial harmonics" belongs to Dr. Know from Bad Brains.

  63. f.... k....

    I'm kinda new to these guys I really like their sound they seem to have 2 different sounds though like they have some stuff like institutionalized and fascist pig that sounds like some late punk bands like Black Flag which I prefer and then they have this stuff that is kinda more like alice in chains or sound garden and a mix of Metallica. Sorry if I sound like an idiot btw.

    f.... k....

    they cr0ss, deep bass w/ punk vibes

    f.... k....

    @Ray Minter btw great in c0ncert

    f.... k....

    That first album (institutionalized, Fascist pig)... I cannot even begin to tell you how that album changed my life in SoCal. They went "weird", but there's a song called 'Nobody Hears' that I live by now. Check that one out.

    f.... k....

    Metallica stole their bass player....

    f.... k....

    felix knott lol no you don't

  64. L.... O....

    wicked good song.  I would play this at my wedding

  65. 1.... ....

    i bought 13

  66. J.... N....

    rocky George uno de los 5 mejores guitarristas

  67. J.... N....

    regresa Rocky por favorrrrr

  68. g.... v....

    mike clark just kick asses!

  69. j.... c....

    suicide not a problem solution, the music yes thats the fucking answer

  70. A.... R....

    Well...This is the last one before they released "13" this year,

  71. R.... ....

    Don't listen to the any suicidals albums after this one. Its depressing....

  72. e.... ....

    el ultimo disco de suicidal...

  73. Z.... ....

    LATINO LATINO LATINO

  74. h.... ....

    Naomi!! you know you wanna blow me!! But lets not Rush.........So baby just hush

  75. j.... ....

    MUIR-CLARK-GEORGE-TRUJILLO = SUICIDAL

    j.... ....

    you missed herrera

  76. M.... ....

    never heard this album by ST, but now ill have to after watching this

  77. Y.... G....

    uando sabes lo que estás haciendo y lo estás haciendo mal
    Sólo tú puedes curar la soledad
    No es un malentendido
    Cómo puedes estar seguro, cuando ya está todo mal con el
    Esto no es amor esta es la soledad

  78. T.... ....

    Roses are red violets are blue valentines day sucks so do you.

  79. G.... F....

    The pay is probably better over there, as they are commercial whores. Xcuse mi French.

  80. M.... ....

    suicidal!!

  81. U.... u....

    Suicidal rules!

  82. J.... R....

    Which do you want? Original ST or Rocky? You can't have both.

    J.... R....

    Jeff Richards I don’t really like punk ST. Melodic/metal was best

  83. J.... R....

    They didn't seem to miss him very much at the last ST show I went to.

  84. P.... M....

    That's an easy question to answer...fame, fortune, gets to play in front of much bigger audience, gets to play old Metallica etc.

  85. A.... 3....

    ST ST ST ya suckas out there,,,ST ST

  86. A.... T....
