Lord above, what if love is just another word

Do we become the folks we hang around

Shut out, cold to the bone while y'all are talkin' the town

Hey, I'm just the fool you made of me
Acknowledging being deceived and made a fool in the relationship.
Hell, all I asked for was honesty

High time I wrote you off, poor broken bird

Don't you have anything to say

Ah it's OK babe, nothin' made any sense, go on, wish me away

But I won't be livin' with what could've been

Forever ain't found in the dark with sin

If you're never gonna put love first or even third

Good Lord, nothin' but another word
