A Love Song

This ain't a song about love
I just don't know what else to sing
This ain't no song about love
Cuz there's no love for me to sing

At night I lay my head down
There's no one there
Nobody else around
Clutchin' my pillow close
Tear-stained case
Holdin' nothing but a ghost
A pillow can't kiss
Or give affection
It can only show what you miss
Remind you that no one wants you
A pillow can't kiss but can taunt you

This ain't a song about love
Cuz there's no love for me to sing
This ain't no song about love
Only about the pain that life brings

All day long I pretend I'm alive
A grand illusion
A delusion I use to survive
But look in my eyes
There's no one there
The days are simply lies
Should I catch anyone's attention
Hope awakens
That he'll show me some affection
But the moment passes as quickly
As it comes, if not more swiftly

This ain't a song about love
Cuz I can't sing about nothing
This is a song about heartbreak
About how hard loneliness stings
This ain't no song about love
Cuz there's no love to sing
