She picks the glass up from the floor

And he swears he won't hit her no more

And yeah she's heard all this before

But she still needs to make believe it's love

And I mind my business across the street

Turn up my music and try to sleep

But I wish she'd reach out to me

So I could help her see



He wears her in

He wears her out

And I just wanna fill her in

That's not what love's about



So he goes and buys her pretty things

'Cause he doesn't know how else to be

And I wonder why won't she leave

I guess nobody wants to be alone

And I see her in the store one day

Her sunglasses hide the love they made

But this time I don't turn away

I ask her does she know



He wears her in

He wears her out

And I just wanna fill her in

That's not what love's about



She closes in

To keep him out

And I just wanna fill her in

That's not what love's about
