Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
He said it takes passion but that’s
Just what I’m lacking with you
Don’t dress the way or move your hair
The way I’d want you to.
I know you love me dear,
The dedication’s sweet
But I can’t imagine ever having
Any kind of life with you.
[Pre-Chorus]
So would you just walk away and close the door?
Would you just walk away and close the door?
[Chorus]
Cause when your lips meet mine,
There’s nothing behind it.
Am I just a way to pass the time?
Until you find..
Until you find…
The next love of your life.
[Verse 2]
I said I got passion
There’s nothing I’m lackin’ with you
I’d never lie, or speak unkind
You know I’d never hurt you.
I said “The kind of love,
You say you’d want with me
Sounds more like lust,
And I’m sorry but I want more than your body”.
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t just walk away and close the door..
I can’t just walk away and close the door..
[Chorus]
Cause when your lips meet mine,
There’s nothing behind it.
Am I just a way to pass the time?
Until you find..
Until you find…
The next love of your life.
[Bridge]
I would’ve given it all,
Just to be by your side
But it’s never enough
No, it’s never enough
I would’ve given it all,
Just to be by your side
But it’s never enough
No, it’s never enough
[Tag]
Oh, oh, I’ll let you go..
(You’re never satisfied)
Oh, oh, I’ll let you go..
(You’re never satisfied)
[Chorus]
Cause when your lips meet mine,
There’s nothing behind it.
Am I just a way to pass the time?
Until you find..
Until you find…
The next love of your life.
