modern love - Reed Deming

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
