If there was no word for love now
We'd see how strong it really is
We could find out what it looks like
Or if it ever did exist
Cause every time you said you loved me
Seems like the point escaped us both
And the current interrupted
The moment that you spoke
Now there's a loophole in the theory
That I cannot figure out
Cause if love was what they said it would be
Then you'd be here with me now
It's a loneliness perfected
It's how to laugh when you should cry
The side effects of broken promise
Becomes a way of getting by
So the next time that you see me
And our exchange feels somehow cheap
Know that I feel every word you're saying
But from just a few steps out of reach
Where the view is a little hazy
And the noise a little loud
Cause if love was what they said it would be
Well then you'd be here with me now
