Convenient Love
by Evechon Music · Melancholic Alt-Pop Ballad
"Convenient Love" sits in the cold half of the bed where a relationship has quietly turned into an arrangement. Evechon Music maps the tidy little lies two people tell to keep the whole thing running, because leaving is harder than pretending it's still love.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Your shoes are by the doorway
My name is on the lease
We know which side gets colder
We know when not to speak
You buy the same red wine
I make the same excuse
We keep the whole thing running
Because neither wants to move
Pre-Chorus
We don’t fight like we used to
We don’t touch much either
We call that getting older
Because it sounds much cleaner
Chorus
Is this love
Or is it convenient?
You know my habits
I know your reasons
Is this us
Or just an agreement?
You keep the bedroom
I keep the secret
We say we’re fine
Because leaving is hard
Is this love
Or is it convenient?
Verse 2
Your mother thinks we’re happy
My friends stopped asking why
We learned to take good pictures
And stand close when they arrive
You leave the hallway light on
I lock the door at ten
We live like two old strangers
Who know where everything is kept
Pre-Chorus
We don’t fight like we used to
We don’t touch much either
We call that getting older
Because it sounds much cleaner
Chorus
Is this love
Or is it convenient?
You know my habits
I know your reasons
Is this us
Or just an agreement?
You keep the bedroom
I keep the secret
We say we’re fine
Because leaving is hard
Is this love
Or is it convenient?
Bridge
Maybe no one did anything wrong
Maybe that’s what makes it worse
There was no door slammed shut
No final angry word
Just two people getting quieter
Till quiet felt complete
Now every room is comfortable
And none of it feels free
Final Chorus
Is this love
Or is it convenient?
You know my habits
I know your reasons
Is this us
Or just an agreement?
You keep the bedroom
I keep the secret
We say we’re fine
Because leaving is hard
Is this love
Or is it convenient?
