She Has My Love

[Verse 1]
I buy them flowers
Hold their hand
Play the part
Laugh in the pictures
But hide my heart
I say
"I'm happy for you"
And I really am
Just not built for this
The way they demand
[Chorus]
I hate love
At least for me
I can clap for everyone else
Honestly
I’ll toast their rings
Their perfect vows
But I’ll never let it get that close again somehow
She has my love
She had my love
And I won’t love like that
I won’t love like that
[Verse 2]
Her ghost in my bedroom
Eyes in every frame
Every new touch
Still sounds like her name
They say
"you'll move on"
But they don't understand
How do you heal
From the one you can't have?
[Chorus]
I hate love
At least for me
I can clap for everyone else
Honestly
I’ll toast their rings
Their perfect vows
But I’ll never let it get that close again somehow
She has my love
She had my love
And I won’t love like that
I won’t love like that
[Bridge]
I hope she's somewhere
Held so safe
Whole and warm
In someone else’s space
I can live with empty
I can live with ache
But I won’t ever risk
What she already takes
[Chorus]
I hate love
At least for me
I can clap for everyone else
Honestly
I’ll toast their rings
Their perfect vows
But I’ll never let it get that close again somehow
She has my love
She had my love
And I won’t love like that
I won’t love like that (no, never like that)
