Love Doesn't Lyrics

Love is a lesson

That we all must learn

You could spend your whole life

Chasing your heart's concerns

Wondering what love is

And why it ain't returned

Like it's something everyone has

But you haven't earned

Hearts can break

Feelings you can't shake

What you thought was love

Was just a big mistake

Started off blind

But now you're wide awake

And all the while you thought

It'd be a piece of cake

Love doesn't feel so cruel

Or make you feel like a fool

It doesn't play a twisted game

With no one there to explain the rules

Love doesn't make you feel blue

All lonely and subdued

Or drill a hole inside your heart

With a pain you can't undo

Love is patient

Love is kind

Love is always better when you take your time

But there are sometimes you might find

That the one you're waiting for

Has left you behind

Love doesn't brag

And love doesn't boast

It doesn't dangle promises

With little hope

It won't leave you hanging

Off a cliff without a rope—

Gotta scrub that kind of love off

With a bar of soap

Love doesn't draw you near

Then whisper in your ear

'This has been so fun

But now I need to disappear'

Love doesn't hold you tight

Then vanish in the night

Leaving you to wonder

Was it all a dream or was it right?

Love doesn't demand

It's own way

Gotta be free to

Have your own say

There's always gotta be

A little give and take

Bend a little 'cause if it's

Brittle it'll break

Love doesn't get angry fast

Doesn't keep a tally of everything in the past

Turn bright sunshine to overcast

Warm and cozy to an arctic blast

Love doesn't play silly games

Then come crashing down in flames

And the very next day say

'Baby can we try again?'

Love doesn't mess with your brain

Should never feel like such a drain

Or feel like you've just been run over

By a big freight train
