Lyrics[]
So when my voice breaks
It's called interpretation
When I hold a note, it's 'cause I want to
Not 'cause I feel anything about you
So don't flatter yourself thinking
That I love you, make you emotional
From major to the minor, when I lose control
I'm not trying to impress you
Break it down
And I get your attention
But it's just formula
Don't need your validation, validation
This is just a song
The music plays and then, then it's gone again
This is just a song, the words don't mean a thing
So every time I sing, "I loved you all along"
Remember, remember this is just a song
Now I've been nothing, yes, I'm on auto-pilot
Have selfish words, even singing while I'm sleeping
Just 'cause you have showed up here to see me
Doesn't mean I'm going home with you this evening
I know December is the month we met
But it rhymes with remember, or did you forget?
I was only giving a performance
I hadn't noticed you were in the audience
In the audience
This is just a song
The music plays and then, then it's gone again
This is just a song, the words don't mean a thing
So every time I sing, "I loved you all along"
Remember, remember this is just
Everybody knows that this is just a song
And I don't feel a thing for you
Oh, everybody knows that rhythm, rhyme, and structure
Doesn't mean that I love you, oh no
This is just a song
The music plays and then, then it's gone again
This is just a song, the words don't mean a thing
So every time I sing, "I loved you all along"
Remember, remember this is just
It's just a song
