True love isn’t true ( standstill reimagining)

Too much of this is happening again

Too much of this is old

Too much of this is new

I’m in a standstill

I don’t know what to do

I think I’m at the end

A heart longing for love anew

I think I came to realize

True love isn’t true

Why do people play with my heart like this?

Is it because I let them?

I felt like I had to take a risk

A risk I don’t feel is worthy

He hurt me

He said he would always have my back

He said that out of courtesy

Did my feelings not mean anything?

In fairy tales they say true love’s kiss solves all

My true love’s kiss took all

Of my emotions, a draining feeling

Of my process of healing

Is this really true love?

I think I came to realize

True love isn’t true

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I tried to see the good in you

Ignored the signs I always knew

Gave you parts I couldn’t lose

Now I’m left with all these wounds

⸻

Chorus

If this is love, I don’t want it

All it ever does is take

Leaves me empty, leaves me broken

Every promise just a fake

If this is love, then I’m done with

All the games and all the pain

I keep giving all my heart out

Just to lose it all again

⸻

Bridge

Maybe I’m the one to blame

For letting you inside my space

For believing every word you said

Like love was something we could save

Now I’m staring at what’s left

Of a heart I barely knew

Trying to pick up all the pieces

That I lost inside of you

⸻

Final Chorus

If this is love, I don’t want it

I’m so tired of the pain

But a part of me still wonders

If I’ll ever feel again

If this is love, then I’m done with

Being someone people use

But I still hope someday I’ll find it

Even if I don’t believe it’s true
