No Love

I'm not the kind to cry on a dime - Still I've had my thoughts
I've seen movies before - Sat hopeful in the dark
I've seen books at the store - Sweet Harlequin romance
Book ends, lights go on - love can't stand a chance

Can it be the truth?
There is no love
Can it be there is no love?

In love, death do you part - Changes one fine day
Dear dad married again before my voice had changed
Love dies, illusion remains - I hear top forty songs
Lone housewives sing to the radio - Wonder what went wrong

Can it be the truth?
There is no love
Can it be there is no love?

I'm not the kind to cry on a dime - Still I've had my thoughts
I've seen movies before - Sat hopeful in the dark
I've seen books at the store - Sweet, sweet Harlequin romance
Book ends, lights go on - And my love can't stand a chance

I guess I'm not quite as naïve as I used to be
Just can't always believe everything you see
Still I sit in the dark watch the film unroll
Gotta have a sliver of hope in this cold dark world

Can it be the truth?
There is no love
Can it be there is no love?
