THATS WHAT LOVE DOES

Verse 1
He was new in town, streets lit when he walked,
Blue eyes, easy grin, the world leaned in.
I liked him — thought he was something,
The way he moved, the way he breathed air.
Later, he came in the diner,
I called him over, introduced him to you.
Still clueless, caught in the glow,
Didn’t see the storm rollin’ in.
Verse 2
He didn’t flirt, didn’t have to try,
Just that easy smile, the way he stood.
I watched you melt, quiet and slow,
Eyes soft, defenses fallin’ like wood.
Not a word — just his pull, his ease,
Kindness, charm — like gravity.
My vision narrowed, my soul went still,
Watchin’ through eyes that love you true.
Chorus 1
Booth shaking under my hands,
Air heavy, walls closin’ in.
Your eyes, a tide I can’t hold back,
Pullin’ everything I built away.
My soul splits in silent echoes,
Time slows, each breath a knife.
This heart aches…
Cause that’s what love does.
Verse 3
Next day I watch from the city square,
Your laughter spilling, sun in your hair.
Every glance he gives, you lean right in,
And I feel the weight of what I feared.
Later, you say soft, unguarded:
“I feel tied down… I wanna be free.”
The world tilts, my sight goes narrow,
I swallow the storm, bitter, unspoken.
Chorus 2
I see the pull, the world breaking near,
But my soul holds steady, unwavering, clear.
Every glance, every step, a silent fight,
Anchored in the quiet, the endless night.
This love lasts, through tides and storms,
Through shadows twistin’, lives transformed.
Your thoughts may bend, but I’ll always wait…
Cause that’s what love does.
Bridge
Sweet girl, I’ll let you see…
The wind may pull you, tides may turn,
But this fire I carry will always burn.
It’s in quiet mornings, weightless touch,
The steady heartbeat no one else can match.
It’s laughter held when storms surround,
The hand that holds, unshaken, sound.
You may have doubts, but I’ll always believe
Cause that’s what love does.
Outro
No matter how dark, I see a spark
When morning comes, the sun will rise.
And in the light, you’ll see my eyes,
You’ll feel my heart, and you’ll come home…
Cause that’s what love does…
Sweet girl, you’ll come home
Yeah… you’ll come home…
Cause that’s what love does (what love does)
That’s what love does (what loves does)…
What love does………………..
