Side Effects

If there was no word for love now
 We'd see how strong it really is
 
 We could find out what it looks like
 Or if it ever did exist
 'Cause every time you said you loved me
 Seems like the point escaped us both
 ♪
 And the current interrupted
 
 The moment that you spoke
 
 Now there's a loophole in the theory
 That I cannot figure out
 'Cause if love was what they said it would be
 Then you'd be here with me now
 ♪
 It's a loneliness perfected
 It's how to laugh when you should cry
 The side effects of broken promise
 Becomes a way of getting by
 ♪
 So the next time that you see me
 And our exchange feels somehow cheap
 Know that I feel every word you're saying
 But from just a few steps out of reach
 
 Where the view is a little hazy
 
 And the noise a little loud
 'Cause if love was what they said it would be
 Well then you'd be here with me now
 
 If love was what they said it would be
 Then you'd be here with me now
