How Could This Love Be So (feat. Zoetic)

When we met we weren’t ready for what would unfold
Tellin’ you things I thought that I don’t think I’ve ever told
You kissed my lips under the streetlight, grabbed my hand to hold
Tellin’ me “baby, since you’re with me i won’t be alone”

But time makes short work of love
Got me contemplating how it was
Got me wondering…

How could this love be so lonely
How could this love be so lonely
Baby, but you say that you need me
So how come I’m feelin’ so lonely

When you call you take up all the time just talkin’ ’bout yourself
When we’re alone you say you want me through the liquor on your breath

How am I supposed to feel
When it doesn’t seem like you know me for real

How could this love be so lonely
(Baby, how could it be?)
How could this love be so lonely
(How could your love be lonely, baby, when you say…)
Baby, but you say that you need me
So how come I’m feeling so lonely

Zoetic:
Yeah, the idea of love just sounds so unrealistic
And I’ve been chasin’ it ’cause I thought happiness came with it
But truth be told as I get old I learned it ain’t intrinsic
And I knew good things do end, but I was hopin’ you’d be different
But I was wrong
My love is lonely, you can hear it all up in my songs
And you won’t listen when I talk and that’s messed up
And I’m dressed up from head-to-toe in embarrassment
Cause when you told me that you loved me, girl, that ain’t what you meant
You just love the way I make you feel when you feel alone
You just love the fact that when you call I’m quick to the phone
I deserve somebody that’s gon’ miss me when I am gone
You crave attention like a dog to a bone
Damn
You told me what you loved, but you left out yourself
You was fine china that I shoulda left on the shelf
You told me that you loved me more than anything else
Lies that hit under the belt
Zoetic, yeah

I don’t know what to do
I can’t keep on expecting things from you
I don’t know what to say
Besides I know we are not ok

How could this love be so lonely
How could this love be so lonely
Ya know you only call when you need me
Oh and it’s leaving me lonely

How could this love be so lonely
How could this love be so lonely
How could this love be so
Lonely
How could this love be so lonely

How could this love be so
