And will never recover, but the name of this thing is not love
Life is not short enough, but the name of this thing is not love
The occasional moments that he'll always bless
And I can't take a potion, and I won't take a pill
Then he threw something down in the wild rushing river
That you pushed me this far
But the name of this thing is not love
There's a bruise on her arm, and some blood on the floor
He's trying hard to forget her
Life is so very short
The name of this thing is not love
But the name of this thing is not love
And they're taunting some girl
So it tortures me still, but the name of this thing is not love
You start entertaining such a terrible thought
He watched her pick over her broken playthings
He thinks of her still, you'd never guess
The name of this thing is not love, the name of this thing is not love
Then you start out pretending you're so very tough
But the name of this thing is not love
What played on his mind is not love
The name of this thing is not love
Over one of his flings, but the name of this thing is not love
That they claim to adore, she can't take anymore
And the name of this thing is not love
The cast aside tokens and discarded rings
Watching her dress, for worse or for better
Who in the world do you think that you are?
