Pain is just a simple comprimise

I used to feel this way.

but now THIS

Some says love is a river.
Some says love is a silly song.
Some says love is all around us.
It lifts us up where we belongs.
Some says love is hearing laughter in the rain
But on the upper east side, love is pain.

Isn't it the same with what I'm feeling now? But I'm not sure either if it is right or maybe I'm trying too hard to be the best. Help?
