If This Is What Love Is



   Somewhere between right and wrong is a love song
   Its tongue hits the target but its phone number is always wrong
   It speaks through calluses of gentler things
   It speaks of kindness
   But I don't think you know what that word means
   Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
   If this is what love is
   Then I guess there's no love song left in me
   

   Somewhere between right and wrong is reality
   Justice and shame speak foolishly of impractical things
   Your kisses are as kind as candles
   your hands are as giving as stone
   Your mind is kind as Hitler's until night leaves you feeling alone
   Your love is something I must do but never be
   If this is what love is
   Then I guess there's no love song left in me
   

   I didn't mean to fall into darkness
   It's just that I trip in the lights
   Cause aw man it's hard to see that clearly and not put up a fight
   But I knew Ithen would break and not bend
   Just look at this trouble I'm in
   I need to realize
   This is how the unhappy half dies
   

   Somewhere between good and bad is every lie I have ever been told
   They all come down but good deeds don't count it's what cards you hold
   But I'm tired of your grey laughter
   I am tired of your hungry eyes
   This love is so rotten
   It's startin' to attract flies
   Your love is something that must do but never be
   Its blade is made of jealousy and insecurity
   Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
   If this is what love is
   If this is what love is
   Then I guess there's no love song left in me.
