We have been together
For so very long
We seem to repeat lines
From a old lonesome song
You say you love me
But you turn your back on me
What does it mean?
When a word is that hackneyed?
The mood suddenly shifts
When the sublime goes absurd
And then it is really clear
That love is just another word
I tell you about my day
But your feelings turn cold
As I relay my little story
It obviously seems old
We talk on the phone
And when we pause to end
I know the last words
You are going to send
The mood suddenly shifts
And the past has recurred
And then it is really clear
That love is just another word
If you loved me, you would save me
Every day would be a gift you gave me
If you loved me
If you loved me
