Ain’t No Love in Florida

[Verse]
Swamps are deeper than the oceans blue
But love gets lost in this old bayou
Cypress trees they whisper in the breeze
Telling tales of hearts brought to their knees
[Verse 2]
Heat is heavy like a weight on my chest
Humidity choking what’s left of this mess
Orange blossoms bloom then fade away
Like our love that couldn’t bear to stay
[Chorus]
Ain’t no love in Florida’s sun
Too hot to hold it when the day is done
Sand and waves but there’s no embrace
Just the salt of tears on a weathered face
[Verse 3]
Gators lurk where the shadows play
They don’t ask why or even look your way
But me I’m asking why it fell apart
Why the sunshine state just froze my heart
[Bridge]
Palms might sway but they don’t feel real
They don’t bend or break they don’t know how to heal
I tried to plant roots in the Everglades
But love here wilts and it always fades
[Chorus]
Ain’t no love in Florida’s sun
Too hot to hold it when the day is done
Sand and waves but there’s no embrace
Just the salt of tears on a weathered face
