Doesn't Work Like That

Doesn't Work Like That

I wish loving one didn't mean hurting another

I wish finding one meant nothing left to discover

Oh if love at first sight meant spending your whole life together

If forever just meant forever

Chorus

Maybe love would be a lot more simple

If the storms were a little more gentle

If the past was just a canvas

You could one day look back at it

Take your brush and paint it different

No regrets

But it doesn't work like like that

What if every heart beat without a memory

What if moving on didn't even scare me

What if what I have is what I want back after Ive lost it

Am I standing at the line or have I crossed it

Chorus

Maybe love would be a lot more simple

If the storms were a little more gentle

If the past was just a canvas

You could one day look back at it

Take your brush and paint it different

No regrets

But it doesn't work like like that

Bridge

What if a promise was a gift easy take back

If I didn't love/need you anymore I could just say that

But I can't say that

Chorus

Maybe love would be a lot more simple

If the storms were a little more gentle

If the past was just a canvas

You could one day look back at it

Take your brush and paint it different

No regrets

But it doesn't work like like that
