It was a rule I always followed,
'There is no love, there is no love'.
I lived that rule,
Because it was all I believed.
There was no proof of love,
Nothing tangible to hold onto,
For me,
That meant it wasn't real.
'There is no love, there is no love'.
But you believed in love,
Wanted to feel the fairy tale.
My heart stopped the night you told me you loved me the first time.
After all,
'There is no love, there is no love'.
You kept saying you loved me,
Even though I couldn't say it back.
I couldn't abandon my only belief,
'There is no love, there is no love'.
It was something I'd always held onto,
It was all there was,
The lack of love in my life,
'There is no love, there is no love'.
I told you this,
You responded with,
'I love you',
But
'There is no love, there is no love'.
You didn't give up on me,
You only let me feel the strength in your belief,
Belief in love,
Belief in being in love with me.
But I couldn't say it back,
Those three words,
Because
'There is no love, there is no love'.
I felt the feeling,
Beautiful, simple and real,
Building inside of me,
But I could not, would not, name it.
'There is no love, there is no love'.
I've always been told I was smart,
But I was too blind to see,
The simple truth,
Laid before me.
The simple truth is,
I was wrong,
The tune of 'There is no love, there is no love',
Is not so strong.
I need to see to believe,
Touch to understand.
You are right in front of me,
Holding my hand.
'There is no love, there is no love',
I guess part of it is true,
There's no love in me,
Because I gave it all to you.
