Lyrics

It's Only Love

Brand-new apartment
Covered in diamonds, dear
It's not quite the same without you
Private allotments
Befriending the insects in here
Going insane like you want me to

If it's only love, it's only you
If you were the one, I've had a few
It's only love, it's nothing new anymore
If it's only love, it's only time
'Til it all comes down and you're not mine
It's only love, I've fallen here before

I hate to swallow
The pride you bestowed on me
But I haven't a clue, what else did you leave?
There's nothing to borrow
Or worth it for me to keep
So I clear out your things until I feel clean

If it's only love, it's only you
If you were the one, I've had a few
It's only love, it's nothing new anymore
If it's only love, it's only time
'Til it all comes down and you're not mine
It's only love, I've fallen here before

You say something
When you say nothing
I find myself when I see your face in the mirror
You say something
When you say nothing
I find myself when I see your face in the mirror
