[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Now I feel nothing, yeah, I'm on auto-pilot
I have sung these words, even sung 'em 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
