It's Not Love

I know you say you love him And that you would have him back any day But he didn’t make you happy, from what you say He didn’t make conversation He never took you out You sat at home tortured, your mind full of doubt I know you say you love him And he’s really not that bad But he never gave you the compliments you should of had He never bought you flowers Whispered sweet nothings in your ear So tell me please why you love him dear I know you say you love him But what good is this love for you It doesn’t make you happy it only makes you blue. Let him go and grieve no more The love you shared together is only in your head Your heart is battered and bruised but the love for him is dead.
