Modern Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She said this talkin'
Kinda wears me out
And all these salesmen
Baby make me tired
They're no good
Tell you the truth, she said
I've been getting' used to liars
They sing me love songs
Store-bought words
They make promises
Like politicians
So we stumble
And we disconnect
Over and over again
This modern love
Is not enough
She said "watch your back
I'm nobody's girlfriend"
This modern love
Is not enough
Oh oh oh oh oh
They said one big exhale never
Did me no good
I let 'em in I
Oh man I let 'em win
I burned my house down
Just to hear 'em scream my name
I've carried hopes
And heavy daydreams
She said
But I'm done with sleepin'
Take the phone calls
Take this circus
Take the drama
Cuz baby it's
Just worthless
This modern love
Is not enough
She said "watch your back
I'm nobody's girlfriend"
This modern love
Is not enough
Oh oh oh oh oh
They said one big exhale never
Did me no good
One big exhale never did me no good
And the bright light shines
Still we ache and we break and we
Try
The stage lights shine
And they blind our eyes
To it all
Oh oh
Still we ache and we break and we just can't
Get it right
This modern love
Is not enough
She said "watch your back
I'm nobody's girlfriend"
This modern love
Is not enough
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
This modern love
Yeah it's a taco truck
Come on take the phone calls
And I'll take the silence
This modern love
Is not enough
Oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah
One big exhale
Never did me no good
One exhale
One big exhale yeah
One exhale
Never did me no good
Oh, never did me no good
