Operative Word Lyrics

There's just some things I can't imagine

How are you and I supposed to happen?

When we can't show our love in a healthy way

How are you and I supposed to stay?

Should I give up on what I thought we'd be?

An apparent end with no apology?

I still think that I might be your one and only

I don't want to end up as your old and lonely

I just want to be

The one that you see

The one that you read

The one that you need

Your operative word

But we can't show our love in a healthy way

Your operative word

But we can't show our love in a healthy way

There's just some things I can't imagine

You and I alone with all our passion

How come you come easy but love comes hard?

I wish it could be simple, but it's not

Should I give up on what I thought we'd be?

An apparent end with no apology?

I still think that I might be your one and only

I don't want to end up as your old and lonely

I just want to be

The one that you see

The one that you read

The one that you need

Your operative word

But we can't show our love in a healthy way

Your operative word

But we can't show our love in a healthy way

"If you're going to put in a solid month of chat on Tinder

Then add me on Facebook, and you're gonna talk to me about the lyrics of your songs

And then like every single one of my photos on Instagram

Just maybe, don't ignore me when I'm at the same gigs as you"

There's just some things I couldn't fathom

Now it's me alone with all my phantoms

For all you know our love might come back someday

For all you know it never went away
