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.
