What Was Love (Original)

[Verse 1] Your coat still hangs On the back of the door I talk to the silence Like it’s heard this before The club is a blur But I see you clear You’re gone in the strobe Still right here [Pre-Chorus] You said “this is forever” Then slipped through my hands Now I’m dancing with a shadow That never understands [Chorus] What was love If it ends like this? All these eyes on me But it’s your ghost I miss What was love If it comes Then it cuts Then it runs? I keep reaching for a stranger In a body that’s gone Tell me What was love? [Verse 2] My drink on the table Your name on my tongue I choke on the memories Of when we were young You’re kissing her shoulder I freeze in the light I smile like I’m fine Then I break inside [Pre-Chorus] You said “we’ll be alright” Then walked through the flame Now I’m burning on the dance floor Whispering your name [Chorus] What was love If it ends like this? All these eyes on me But it’s your ghost I miss What was love If it comes Then it cuts Then it runs? I keep reaching for a stranger In a body that’s gone Tell me What was love? [Bridge] Did you ever mean it? Was I ever real? Or just a place to lay your head Till you learned how to feel? I gave you my heartbeat You gave me your fear Now every drop of rhythm Just drags you near (oh) [Chorus] What was love If it ends like this? All these eyes on me But it’s your ghost I miss What was love If it comes Then it cuts Then it runs? I keep reaching for a stranger In a body that’s gone What was love When you let it die? Now I’m screaming at the ceiling Over blinking lights What was love But a question left under my skin? If you ever hear this echo Will you feel anything? [Chorus] What was love (What was love?) If it ends like this? All these eyes on me But it’s your ghost I miss What was love If it comes Then it cuts Then it runs? I keep reaching for a stranger In a body that’s gone Tell me What was love?
