lyrics

He says that word like it doesn’t hurt,
and he always smiles when he looks at her.
Although I’m happy for what he’s found,
how do I tell him while he’s still around?

Love is the filthiest four letter word I know,
and I’m perfectly happy not letting my feelings grow.
If I pull up the covers, hide away, get up and close my door,
maybe then love would leave me alone and never come back for more.

I pick up the phone; it weighs a million pounds,
get the dial tone, and flinch at the sound.
I hold my breath until the ringing is gone,
don’t let it go until his voicemail comes on.

Love is the filthiest four letter word I know,
and I’m perfectly happy not letting my feelings grow.
If I pull up the covers, hide away, get up and close my door,
maybe then love would leave me alone and never come back for more.

I’m never going to be that girl, the one you left back home,
the one you left just sitting here, staring at her phone,
oh no, and maybe this will show,
you’re always going to leave me here alone.

Love is the filthiest four letter word I know,
and I’m perfectly happy not letting my feelings grow.
If I pull up the covers, hide away, get up and close my door,
maybe then love would leave me alone and never come back for more.

But maybe it will stay.
