Album: Parachute (2017)

Love Isn't Love

Love isn't love just because you wear a ring
It isn't love in whispered words, promising everything
When every tear you cry
Makes you wish it would have passed you by

Love isn't love when every day's a judgment day
Love isn't love because your heart breaks
It can just as well fade away
To let it slowly die
Is more devastating than goodbye

Love wasn't love when you were discreet with it
Or when you took to the streets with it
Your fist pounding pavement for the beauty that was
Love wasn't love when you were right in the thick of it
When you were absolutely sick with it
With what you thought was love

Love isn't grand, it's a world of little things
A simple song, a melody that you can't help but sing
And the stormy skies
They don't ever take you by surprise

Love wasn't love when you would have died for it
Or when you broke down and cried for it
When every tear fell bitter for the beauty that was
Love wasn't love even when you were mired in it
Sometimes you got so tired of it
What you thought was love

It takes two to love,
The one thing that you both are worthy of
Love is everything
They'll walk a million miles to bring you
Love

Love, you find love when you're most afraid of it
But when you find it, you'll bleed for it
Every drop falls painless for the beauty that is
Love is still love even when you're weighed down by it
Sometimes you're screaming to hell with it
Yet longing for their love
