Cover art for How Do You Keep Love Alive? lyrics by Ryan Adams

He knows it isn't what it's supposed to be, because love is "supposed to make you happy" and they're miserable. But how can he go about cliche breakup phrases when their relationship is so much deeper than that? She's in his blood, his love for her predates her existence. He's asking if there's some other way, one that would keep their love alive because he can't just abandon it.
