Lyric

My device shows all his old texts

My phone shows all his old texts

His words were intended for me

His words were meant for me

I picked up a brochure for a couples’ trip

I grabbed a flyer for a couples’ trip

I got his photo by mail

I got his photo by post

I prefer actions to words

I like actions more than words

His late response made me sad

His late reply made me sad

He moved to another region

He moved to another area

I want to donate a kidney to him

I want to give him a kidney

We met every quarter last year

We met every few months last year

Why can’t love be simple and true?

Why do the answers fade from view?

I’m holding on, though I feel weak

Love speaks louder than the words we speak

We had an agreement not to lie

We had a deal not to lie

I wrote about him in my journal

I wrote about him in my diary

I distributed the diaries to everyone

I handed out the diaries to everyone

There is a potential that I’m crazy

I might be crazy

I had to reschedule our date

I had to move our date

I want to renew my feelings for him

I want to refresh my feelings for him

He works in a warehouse now

He works in a storage facility now

I asked for a refund for the trip

I asked for my money back for the trip

I advised him to be honest

I told him to be honest

I called him immediately

I called him right away

Why can’t love be simple and true?

Why do the answers fade from view?

I’m holding on, though I feel weak

Love speaks louder than the words we speak

They said he was the leader of the student council

They said he was the head of the student group

They broadcast our love story on TV

They showed our love story on TV

I’m responsible for this breakup

It’s my fault we broke up

I avoid places he likes

I stay away from places he likes

Silence is not effective in love

Silence doesn’t work in love

I got an invitation to his wedding

I got asked to his wedding

I should have been less selfish

I should have been less selfish

He bought me a vehicle

He bought me a car

That car is fuel-efficient

That car is good on gas

But the manufacturer’s service was poor

But the company’s service was poor

I felt so comfortable with him

I felt relaxed with him

Why can’t love be simple and true?

Why do the answers fade from view?

I’m holding on, though I feel weak

Love speaks louder than the words we speak
