The walls they once confined me have become my only friends
And all they ever talk about is you
I've boarded up the doors and given all my hope away
So cut off and I don't know what to do now
What is love, what is love when you're not here?
I'm so dumb, I'm still waiting for you, waiting for you dear
What is love, what is love when you're not, you're not here?
I'm so dumb, I'm still waiting for you, waiting for you dear
Worried I could paint the picture on my face
You call it art, but it's no better than the rest of them
And every mark that I have made to hide the tears they gave away
Could never cover up the torn apart beneath, please tell me
What is love, what is love when you're not here?
I'm so dumb, I'm still waiting for you, waiting for you dear
What is love, what is love when you're not, you're not here?
I'm so dumb, I'm still waiting for you, waiting for you dear
And I need to know now, if you remind the words you said before
You took them all away from me
And I don't have control of the way you made it all okay
And then you decided it was time to leave
And I don't understand how you say you love me every night
But maybe that was just a past your time
And I'm sorry if I have been any trouble to your mind
But it's all over, I'm still asking why
What is love, what is love when you're not here?
I'm so dumb, I'm still waiting for you, waiting for you dear
What is love, what is love when you're not, you're not here?
I'm so dumb, I'm still waiting for you, waiting for you dear
Waiting for you, waiting for you dear
