Love Of My Life

(album: Public Displays Of Affection - 2023)

I waited till the third date to bring you up
It's never a good time to discuss
The ghost of relationships passed, but
I told him your name and how "you just didn't like me that much"
And with bated breath, braced for impact
But he stayed right where he was

He's made friends with the skeletons in my closet
The elephants in my room
He makes it a little bit easier to be haunted by you

Now that it's over I'm glad that it is
Now that you're gone I'm glad that you went
Because losing you, confirmed sometimes
Breakups are blessings in disguise
Losing you only helped me find
The love of my life

I waited till the third month but he beat me to it
Started saying, "I love you"
At every chance that we could get
And it felt so good
That I got down right suspicious
Cause I've waited my whole life to be loved like this

He's made friends with the skeletons in my closet
The elephants in my room
He makes it a little bit easier to be haunted by you

Now that it's over I'm glad that it is
Now that you're gone I'm glad that you went
Because losing you, confirmed sometimes
Breakups are blessings in disguise
Losing you only helped me find
The love of my

I used to think that you were it
And that when you left, I'd never love again
Just for me to meet the right person, the right time
The reincarnated love of my life

He's made friends with my friends
My parents love him
Thought I'd never love anyone like I loved you till I did

So now that it's over I'm glad that it is
Now that you're gone I'm glad that you went
Because losing you, confirmed sometimes
Breakups are blessings in disguise
Losing you only helped me find
The love of my life
