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
