Lyrics
[verse]
I've been asking questions that I never got to answer
Watching every fling I had turn into a passing dancer
Never found the one who'd stay when the party lights go dim
Never found the love that wasn't just about a whim
I've had plenty offers, plenty faces in the crowd
But none of them could hold me when the noise around got loud
Something's always missing when the morning finally comes
Something real is different from the temporary ones
[chorus]
What's love if it don't stay when the party's done
What's love if it disappears before the rising sun
What's love, tell me, is it something you can find
Or just a feeling that we chase and leave behind
(guest hook)
Baby tell me what it means when you say you feel it too
Is it just tonight talking or something really true
I've been burned before by promises that faded fast
Wanna know if what we're building here is built to last
[verse]
Every city's got a story, every story's got a name
Every name I've known before just led me to the same
Empty mornings, empty phone, an empty side of bed
Wondering if the kind of love I'm chasing lives instead
Only in the movies, only in the songs we sing
Maybe I'm just looking for a fictional kind of thing
But something in me still believes that real love does exist
Somewhere past the parties and the faces that I've kissed
[chorus]
What's love if it don't stay when the party's done
What's love if it disappears before the rising sun
What's love, tell me, is it something you can find
Or just a feeling that we chase and leave behind
[bridge]
Maybe love's a question that we answer with our time
Maybe love's the ones who stay when nothing else aligns
So I'll keep on searching, keep on hoping, keep on faith
That the real thing's waiting somewhere past the masquerade
[chorus]
What's love if it don't stay when the party's done
What's love if it disappears before the rising sun
What's love, tell me, is it something you can find
Or just a feeling that we chase and leave behind
