It Wasn't Love |
LyricsIt Wasn't LoveWords and Music by Scott Jeffrey Copyright September 2004 There were no promises to make There were no words left to be spoken. And there were no vows for him to break One by one they'd all been broken. So it came down to holding on Or it came down to letting go. She said, "Love it may be blind But I see well enough to know." It wasn't love. It wasn't love that we had. It wasn't love That left me feeling this sad. And it wasn't love Out running around. I don't know what it was But I left him because It wasn't love. She broke down and softly cried. Taking portraits off the wall. Twenty years and what remained Was packed in boxes in the hall. At night she dreams she'll love again And it scares her half to death She gave so much to him She's afraid there's nothing left. Bridge Only love will heal her heart And only love will wash it clean It wasn't love or hate he gave her It was something in between. But it wasn't love. It wasn't love that they had. It wasn't love That left her feeling this sad. It wasn't love out running around I'm not sure what it was But it's over because It wasn't love. |
