Song Description
I would tell you how great it will be, how things will change, how you're making a big mistake--but that's not how love works. There was no logic to how we got together--and no logic in how we split.

Lyrics by Tom Toce
LOVE DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY
Not gonna tell you that you're seeing things wrong.
Not gonna say that you're mistaken.
Not gonna give you all the reasons to stay,
Love doesn't work that way.
Not one to wonder why the feelings not there.
Not one to say, hey, think it over.
Not one to tell you you'll be sorry someday.
Love doesn't work that way.
Never wondered why you loved me.
Never needed reasons at all.
Now that it's over,
What's there to say?
Why did you fall?
Why did you fall away?
Wish that my heart was half as smart as my brain.
Wish that my words could cure the anguish.
Wish I could tell you I'll be feeling okay,
But love doesn't work that way.
Star in the sky--I wish I might, wish I may,
But love doesn't work that way.
No, love doesn't work that way.
