Love Was Just a Word

The stars were just lights Up in the sky

And the moon was just something that catches your eye

There was no magic in a morning blue bird

And love was just a word

Art on a wall was just something to see

Songs were just chords and melodies

Noise in the background that’s all they were

When love was just a word

Just 4 letters that stick on your tongue

Like a shot that’s too strong

a new pair of jeans that don’t fit

But you still really want

I ain’t going back to the day when my heart

Wasn’t yours

And love was just a word

It’s like the way the world looks after rain

It’s not all that different but everything’s changed

Before I held you baby I was so sure

That love was just a word

Just 4 letters that stick on your tongue

Like a shot that’s too strong

Like a new pair of jeans that don’t fit

But you still really want

I ain’t going back to the day when my heart

Wasn’t yours

And love was just a word

Some days were just fine all on my own

It ain’t all bad living alone

I thought I was strong when I couldn’t get hurt

But love was just a word

Just 4 letters that stick on your tongue

Like a shot that’s too strong

Like a new pair of jeans that don’t fit

But you still really want

I ain’t going back to the day when my heart

Wasn’t yours

And love was just a word
