Intro
We used to leave the light on,
Like somebody was coming home.
Now every window in this city
Looks better left alone.
Verse
I kept your number for a year or two,
Not to call, just something people do.
Kept one photograph I couldn’t throw away,
Then lost it in a move somewhere along the way.
And I met somebody in a crowded room,
She had your laugh, but she left too soon.
Another had your kindness, another your eyes—
I got good at hellos
And better at goodbyes.
Pre-Chorus
So I went looking in the bars,
In the beds, beneath the stars,
In every stranger’s face
For something I could name.
But you can’t recreate a fire
From a photograph of flame.
Chorus
I don’t know where love went,
Yet my hope is all spent.
The passion and joy is gone,
Like death in a song,
Love is dead and it feels so wrong.
I don’t know where love hides,
Or if something in us died.
We keep dancing when the music’s gone,
Still moving along—
Love is dead and it feels so wrong.
Post-Chorus
So wrong… so wrong…
Everybody’s moving on.
So wrong… so wrong…
Nobody knows what from.
Verse
My friends all say, “You’ll find someone,”
Like love’s a train and another one comes.
Swipe to the left, swipe to the right,
A thousand little faces glowing in the night.
We made desire disposable,
Made loneliness discreet.
There’s always someone waiting
If you never have to meet.
So I deleted all the numbers,
Stopped waiting for the sign.
It’s easier to say, “I’m fine alone”
Than admit I’ve stopped believing
There is anyone to find.
Pre-Chorus
I don’t miss your coat behind the door,
Don’t miss your footsteps on the floor.
I don’t even dream about you
Like I did before.
But I miss the man who still believed
There’d always be something more.
Chorus
I don’t know where love went,
Yet my hope is all spent.
The passion and joy is gone,
Like death in a song,
Love is dead and it feels so wrong.
I don’t know where love hides,
Or if something in us died.
We keep dancing when the music’s gone,
Still moving along—
Love is dead and it feels so wrong.
Post-Chorus
*(So wrong… so wrong…)*
Everybody’s moving on.
*(So wrong… so wrong…)*
Nobody knows what from.
Bridge
Maybe you weren’t the love of my life.
Maybe that’s the worst of it.
Maybe you were only the last time
I believed there was such a thing.
Verse
And I don’t want you back.
I want back
The fool who thought
He’d love like that again.
We don’t fall in love now,
We fall out of touch.
We don’t break our hearts,
We just don’t feel much.
We don’t say forever,
We say, “See how it goes.”
Keep every door open—
Outro
So nobody gets close.
Nobody gets close.
Nobody gets close.
And nobody gets hurt—
There are millions of lights
In millions of rooms,
Millions of people
With nothing to lose.
Maybe somebody’s waiting.
Maybe somebody’s not.
