Show Me Love

You called it love but you used it wrong
A word you threw out when you strung me along
You said the things I needed to hear
But your silence always rang more clear
You held me close but your eyes looked far
Like love was trapped in someone else's jar
I knew you didn't love me
'Cause love don't hurt like that
I knew you didn't love me
'Cause love never looks back
I knew you didn't love me
'Cause words cut way too deep
I knew you didn't love me
'Cause love's not this hard to keep
Love is something shared
But you only thought of you
I knew you didn't love me
By how much I still love you
You slept in late while I paced the floor
Chasing ghosts of how to give you more
I made excuses for you bein' cold
Told myself that's just how some love unfolds
But the truth is louder when it's not returned
And I lay next to ashes from bridges burned
I knew you didn't love me
'Cause love don't hurt like that
I knew you didn't love me
'Cause love never looks back
I knew you didn't love me
'Cause words cut way too deep
I knew you didn't love me
'Cause love's not this hard to keep
Love is something shared
But you only thought of you
I knew you didn't love me
By how much I still love you
Some folks leave notes
You left silence
And it said more than any goodbye ever could
I knew you didn't love me
But I still hoped you might
I knew you didn't love me
But I fought every night
I knew you didn't love me
When goodbye felt like truth
And I knew you didn't love me
By how much I still love you
