Love Languages

All you had to do was one thing
It coulda been simple
We didn't have to end this way

I tried to tell you over and over again
I needed reassurance
I needed to believe we could handle this

Inexpensive apologies
You wrote out the policies
And I'm tired of feeling hushed
Ashes coated in gold dust

I never wanted a break
I always wanted to stay
But you never spit out the words
Let's work on this okay
It'd always end in a fight
I think maybe we weren't right
But you'd ask lets try this again
Colorblind to the red and green lights

No, 'cause you had to love a different way
Instead of the gifts you used to sway
Guess that's just your love language babe

The one I thought I'd never lose
Too much time I'd spend on you
The 3 words now long overdue
It's time for us to see
5 languages mean everything

Inexpensive apologies
You wrote out the policies
And I'm tired of feeling hushed
Ashes coated in gold dust

I never wanted a break
I always wanted to stay
But you never spit out the words
Let's work on this okay

It'd always end in a fight
I think maybe we weren't right
But you'd ask lets try this again
Colorblind to the red and green lights

Oh, you had to love a different way
Instead of the gifts you used to sway
Guess that's just your love language babe

I wanted to fix this myself
But I knew it was over
I should've known it was over

I never had any of doubt
Guess that was a mistake
Thinkin' you'd never go away

I wanted to hear the right things, but you said the wrong
And even if I wasn't happy I strung you along
I'd try to tell you it wasn't just a case of headstrong
But you moved on, so I moved along

I never wanted a break
I always wanted to stay
But you never spit out the words
Let's work on this okay

It'd always end in a fight
I think maybe we weren't right
But you'd ask let's try this again
But babe, let's be honest this time

No, 'cause you had to love a different way
Instead of the gifts you used to sway
Guess that's just your love language babe

Oh, love shifted into the display
Picturing us began to fade
Because of the words you couldn't say
