Matt Nathanson - Modern Love

Lyrics

She said this talkin'

Just kinda wears me out

And all these salesmen

Baby make me tired

They're no good

Tell you the truth she said

I've been getting' used to liars

They sing me love songs

Store-bought words

They make promises

Like politicians

So we stumble

And we disconnect

Over and over again

This modern love

Is not enough

She said watch your back

I'm nobody's girlfriend

This modern love

Is not enough

Oh oh oh oh oh

They said one big exhale never did me no

Good

I let 'em in I

Oh man I let 'em win

I burned my house down

Just to hear 'em scream my name

I've carried hope

And heavy daydreams

She said

But I'm done with sleepin'

Take the phone calls

Take this circus

Take the drama

'Cause baby it's just worthless

This modern love

Is not enough

She said watch your back

I'm nobody's girlfriend

This modern love

Is not enough

Oh oh oh oh oh

They said one big exhale never did me no

Good

One big exhale never did me no good

And the bright lights shine

Still we ache 'n' we break n we

Try

The stage lights shine

And they blind our eyes

To it all

Oh oh

Still we ache 'n' we break 'n' we just can't

Get it right

This modern love

Is not enough

She said watch your back

I'm nobody's girlfriend

This modern love

Is not enough

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh

This modern love

Yeah it's a taco truck

Come on take the phone calls

And I'll take the silence

This modern love

Is not enough

Oh oh oh oh

Oh

Yeah one big exhale

Never did me no good

One exhale

One big exhale yeah

One exhale

Never did me no good

Oh never did me no good
