Nothing, Just Love

(oh-oh)

(ahh)

Cold light, black room

Same old song, same wound

You ask me why my eyes look red

Why my smile hangs by a thread

I say I’m fine, I fake enough

But pain still bleeds through every note I touch

I keep the time, I hit each line

Hands stay steady, heart off-time

I hold it down, I rise above

But cracks come through when I sing just love

I stay on task, I play it straight

But tears don’t care if I look okay

No, no

You ask me why, ask me why

Why my voice shakes every night

Nothing, nothing

Just love, just love

You ask me why, ask me why

Why these tears won’t stay inside

Nothing, nothing

Just love, just love

(oh-oh)

They hear the break between the words

The silent scream beneath the verse

I face the crowd, I keep it tough

But sorrow always rides the rush

Bassline moves like a funeral train

Every beat pulls back the rain

I wear control like a velvet glove

Still fall apart when I sing just love

I stay on task, I hold my place

But hurt still paints across my face

No, no

You ask me why, ask me why

Why my voice shakes every night

Nothing, nothing

Just love, just love

You ask me why, ask me why

Why these tears won’t stay inside

Nothing, nothing

Just love, just love

(ahh)

Maybe love don’t leave, it stays

Turns to echoes, haunts the stage

Maybe grief and love are one

Still burning when the song is done

You ask me why, ask me why

Why I’m crying in the light

Nothing, nothing

Just love, just love

You ask me why, ask me why

Why it lives inside my voice

Nothing, nothing

Just love, just love

(just love)

(nothing… just love)

(oh-oh)
