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
