“Couldn’t Have Been Love”

It couldn’t have been love
Or we would be together
Couldn’t have been love
Or we wouldn’t be apart
Couldn’t have been love
Love stays with you forever
But it was love that broke my heart

You hadn’t kissed me in a long time
And we hardly ever would make love
For a while, I thought you had another
But it really doesn’t matter now
’Cause my life has just begun

It couldn’t have been love
Or we would be together
It couldn’t have been love
Or we wouldn’t be apart
It couldn’t have been love
Love stays with you forever
But it was love that broke my heart

Stars all went in, we went walking
Moon turned away, we held hands
Your arms never ever reached out to hold me
My heart broke in two, you know
I didn’t understand

So it couldn’t have been love
Or we would be together
It couldn’t have been love
Or we wouldn’t be apart
It couldn’t have been love
Love stays with you forever
But it was love that broke my heart

I guess in all this time we’ve spent together
Is a lesson that we both have learned so well
Even though, my love, you and I once were lovers
We can leave each other now
And find somebody else

It couldn’t have been love
Or we would be together
It couldn’t have been love
Or we wouldn’t be apart
It couldn’t have been love
Love stays with you forever
But it was love that broke my heart, oh yeah
It was love that broke my heart, oh yeah
It was love that broke my heart
Couldn’t have been love
