lyrics

We had a little thing that we called love
But I'm not so sure that that was what it was

And we can play at being in love
But we both know that was not what it was

You weren't patient or kind, you drove me out of my mind
And if it's not about me you know it’s not about me

Everybody’s burning bridges just as soon as it seems safe
‘Cause when the bridge is gone… there’s nothing in the way

We had this peculiar tendency
To mistake love for dependency

And we can play at being in love
But we both know that was not what it was

The only thing to do to break the ritual
Is to recognize that it's become habitual

And we can play at being in love
And we’ll ask ourselves, “was that not what it was?”

We had a little thing that we called love
And I'm not so sure that that was what it was

And we can play at being in love
But we both know that was not what it was
