c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m
There's a part of this feeling that I just cannot kill
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
But the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
And I can't take a potion, and I won't take a pill
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
So it tortures me still
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
But the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Then you start entertaining such a terrible thought
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Life is so very short
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
And the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m
There's a bruise on her arm
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
And some blood on the floor
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
But the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
And they're taunting some girl
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
That they claim to adore
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
She can't take anymore
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
But the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Who in the world do you think that you are?
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
That you pushed me this far
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
But the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m
He thinks of her still
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Although you'd never guess
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
He's trying so to forget her
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
The occasional moments that he'll always bless
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Watching her dress
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
For worse or better
c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m
He watched her pick over her broken playthings
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
What played on his mind is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
The cast aside tokens and discarded rings
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Over one of his flings
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
But the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Then he threw something down in the wild rushing river
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
And won't ever recover
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
But the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m

c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Then you start out pretending that you're so very tough
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
Life is not short enough
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
But the name of this thing is not love
c10k81724i22212nkk12m
