Love

It doesn't. That's not what I'm saying. In the verse, the word "love" is used metaphorically. It can perform actions (such as boasting). It is no longer merely an emotion in context, but has agency.

As such, Love doesn't always attain it's desired ends.

But sometimes, when people don't wanna be saved, you just gotta let them go. You cannot let them drag you down. But I thought the ending to Romeo and Juliet was total BS, too.

People may fail, but Love never does. If someone fails you, it sure wasn't Love's fault.

Again, it's important to note the context of the verse - "love" is something greater than a mere emotion. See my reply to divegeester.
