That's Not Love Lyrics

When you're feeling kind it's like most of my mind goes down the drain

And half of my heart tears like a raindrop steadily pulled across the window pane

Of course I see it! And when I'm alone it's been decided

You had wanted me quite like a dog wants

Fresh meat and a pat on the head

That's not love, that is an elegy

We're not making history when you turn and say

That what you've done was of care for me

That's not love! Love does not hold you as you twist

Plug you with images far from comforting

Leave you there grimacing as the spirit sings out

"That's not love"

When I'm feeling high, I flash back to riding waves of joy

With you at the helm I could just lean back

And sink into watching you try to carry me

Lord, I'm heavy; Lord, I've been weighing myself down

Lord, I have knocked on every door and no one's answering!

You're not listening

And that's not love, that is an elegy

You're not making history when you turn and say

That what you've done was of care for me

That's not love! Love does not hold you as you twist

Plug you with images far from comforting

Leave you there grimacing as the spirit sings out

"That's not love"
