modern love

All her life
She's been praying for the perfect guy
But she's crying herself to sleep at night
Cause they just keep falling through
So she goes online
Seeking validation on a dating site
Playing a game that she don't even like
Cause it's what she's gotta do

Modern love, yeah it just sucks sometimes
Cause when you love someone and you care too much
You just get hurt

Modern love, everyone's dead inside
So we get back online and we waste our time
Saying empty words
Is this the love that we deserve
Cause it doesn't work

He can't lie
A broken heart keeps him up at night
He still tells all of his friends he's fine
But he keeps her on his phone
Friday nights
He goes out to forget his life
Posts up on his story trying to prove he's fine
But he's scared of being alone
We're so good at hiding scars
But we don't know how to fix our hearts
We try to make the world want us
But attention isn't love

Modern love, yeah it just sucks sometimes
Cause when you love someone and you care too much
You just get hurt

Modern love, everyone's dead inside
So we get back online and we waste our time
Saying empty words
Is this the love that we deserve
Cause it doesn't work

It's artificial love and everybody sucks
Or maybe it's just what the world made us
If you text first, you're set up to get hurt
So why would anybody even try their luck
Every night he's up, everything she's done
Is a desperate cry for an unmet love
But we're not alone, I know God tells us
Don't forget you're worthy of more than modern love

Modern love, I know that it sucks sometimes
But don't forget your worth
When everything hurts
It'll be alright

Modern love, everyone's dead inside
So we get back online and we waste our time
Saying empty words
Oh this isn't the love that we deserve
Oh it's not the love that we deserve
Cause it doesn't work
