What Good Is Love

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We had ups, we had downs, we had joy and
Had both sides of the coin, don't apologize
Apologize
We can say every day it's perfect
But you know, and I know it's a bunch of lies
A bunch of lies

What good is love when it's broken?
What good is love when it's hopeless?
What good is love when it's over?
I don't know
What good is love when it's broken?
What good is love when it's hopeless?
What good is love when it's over?
I don't know

What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?) Good
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?) Oh
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?) Hey
What good is love when it's over?
I don't know, oh, oh, oh

Can't deny that we've both could've tried more
Wouldn't change where we are, why apologize?
Apologize
We were bound to break up
Even though we made up after every single fight
Had our loving nights but

What good is love when it's broken?
What good is love when it's hopeless?
What good is love when it's over?
I don't know

What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?) Good
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?) Oh
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?) Hey
What good is love when it's over?
I don't know, oh, oh, oh

What good are words when you're silent?
What good is beats when you're violent?
What good is truth when you're lying?
I don't know

What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?)
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?)
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?)

What good is love when it's over?
I don't know
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?)
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?)
What good is love when it's over?
(What is? What is?)
What good is love when it's over?
I don't know
