It Was Love Lyrics

you found a way to break away

from the one you say that you love

now you cry out your eyes day and night

you set free the one that you love



and it's true, I don't remember you

but I believe you if you say that we met

I get confused

nights, i've been wondering

I thought I was already dead



but man, I loved

yeah, I loved

when I loved

it was love

it was love

or at least, the closest I got



and the coffee, the cream

the blood in my dreams

are the ones you used to know

and the gas, the plane, the interstate

live the ones you don't have to know

and I regret this sad and awful truth

but my mouth, it'll get away from me

you, I just put up with you, kid

I stayed cause you wouldn't leave



remember love

oh, love

when we loved

it was love

it was love

or at least, as close as I've come



and maybe joan was running all alone

and there is a shortcut

by putting a gun to your brain

man, to take all that you got



and the truth was I was just scared for you

but for me, that's the way that it comes

you'd gotten used to me and my awful tongue

but god, didn't we have some fun?

when we made love in the van

and I drove with your hand on my lap

and when san diego got too unkind

we just picked up and left it behind

and we had some love and some hope

a full tank of gas and a wide open road



it was love

to us, it was all that we had

and there's just a day when you just break

the best thing you had

and I still call it love

for now, it's the closest I've come
