Lyrics by Matt Waters and Zara Adam-Waters

I never think of you
Except when I hear “greed is good,”
It takes me back
To what I misunderstood


The way you looked every night
Like you could never fail
You always hated the ending
When the villain went to jail


I couldn’t help stalling in love
Despite your disarming charm
I almost sold my dreams
To be the one on your arm


Would it be a love song
If we found a way through
Would it have been so wrong?
To have forgiven you


Would it be a love song
If there hadn’t been an ending
If instead of breaking
We spent the rest of our lives bending
Oh, oh, oh, time is time
Oh, oh, oh, one hour goes by
Oh, oh, oh, not like one of us died
Oh, oh, oh, they say its part of life


The way days accumulate
With only a top and bottom
My heart ices over
As each summer gets hotter


But smoke got in your lies
And the market collapsed
You got bitter, quiet
Your worst habits relapsed

I couldn’t crawl the line
I couldn’t be your bohemian doll
It feels like we once shared a name
I can no longer recall


Would it be a love song
If we found a way through
Would it have been so wrong?
To have forgiven you


Would it be a love song
If there hadn’t been an ending
If instead of breaking
We spent the rest of our lives bending
