Lyrics It Was Love - The Elected

It Was Love

You found a way to break away
From the one you say that you love
Now you cry out your eyes, day and night
You set free the one that you love
And it’s true, I don’t remember you
But I believe you if you say that we met
I get confused, nights I’ve been wondering
I thought I was already dead
But man, I loved, yeah, I loved
When I loved, it was love
It was love or at least
The closest I got
And the coffee, the cream, the blood in my dreams
Are the ones I used to know
And the gas, the plane, the interstate
Live the ones you don’t have to know
And I regret this sad and awful truth
But my mouth, it’ll get away from me
And you, I just put up with you
Kid, I stayed 'cause you wouldn’t leave
But remember love, oh, love
When we loved, it was love
It was love, or at least
As close as I’ve come
And maybe Joan was right all along
There is a shortcut home
But putting a gun to your brain
Man’ll take all that you got
And the truth is I was just scared for you
But for me, that’s the way that it comes
You’d gotten used to me and my awful tongue
But god, didn’t we have some fun?
When we made love in the van
And I drove with your hand on my lap
When San Diego got too unkind
We just picked up and left him behind
And we had some love and some hope
A full tank o' gas and a wide open road
And it was love to us, it was all that we had
And there’s days you just break
The best thing you have
And I still call it love for now
It was the closest I’d come
