There's a light that never goes out

Every boyfriend is the one 
Until otherwise proven 
The good are never easy, the easy never good 

Deception and perfection are wonderful traits 
One will breed love, the other, hate 
You'll find me in the lonely hearts 
Under "I'm after a brand new start" 

When everything is life and death 
You may feel like there's nothing left 
Instead of love, and trust, and laughter 
What you get is happy never after 
But deep down all you want is love 
The pure kind, we all dream of 
But we cannot escape the past 
So you and I will never last
