A Love
The Echo and the Always Lyrics

We don't feel the same
We don't have the same feelings

Some things never change
Certain things remain constant

I know it hurts to say
I understand that speaking the truth is painful

It was never love anyway
It was never true love to begin with

You can't force love
Love cannot be coerced

No matter how you try it
Regardless of your efforts

Some say it just takes time
Others claim that time is all it takes

But I don't buy it (buy it yeah)
But I don't believe it

Cause I'm holding out yeah yeah
Because I'm waiting and hopeful

For more than just a start
I want something substantial, not just a beginning

An empty vessel
I feel empty and unfulfilled

In a sea of folding hearts
Surrounded by people who are giving up on love

All night all night
Throughout the night

We could do this all night long
We could continue this behavior for hours

But it's just not right
But it's not healthy or appropriate

So we get it wrong
We repeatedly make mistakes

And I just can't go back to you
I cannot return to the way things were with you

I can't stay
I am unable to remain in this situation

Don't want to play this game again
I do not wish to repeat this cycle

The same mistakes
The identical errors

Like it's always Wednesday
Repeating the same mistakes as a routine

You say it's something
You claim that it's a solvable issue

We can work through overnight
We can solve it overnight

But if we never work this out
But if we cannot arrive at a solution

Well that's alright
That is acceptable

We don't feel the same
We do not share identical emotions

But I guess you'll never change
But I assume that you will never alter your behavior

I know it hurts to say
I'm aware it's difficult to express

It was never love (oh yeah yeah)
It was never authentic love (indeed)

All night all night
Throughout the whole night

We could do this all night long (we could do this all night long)
We could engage in this all evening (we could engage in this all evening)

But it's just not right
But it's not healthy or appropriate

It was never love (facts)
It was never authentic love (the truth)

We don't feel the same (oh no)
Our thoughts and feelings don't correspond (oh no)

But I guess you'll never change
But I presume that you will never modify your actions

I know it hurts to say but
I understand that it is difficult to communicate but

It was never love anyway
It was never true love to begin with

Anyway
Regardless
