Don’t Call This Love

If this was love

It wouldn’t feel like this

We called it something real

But it never stayed that way

Felt right in the moment

Then it slowly drifted away

You said all the right things

But they didn’t hold weight

Felt good when you said it

Didn’t last through the day

I don’t blame you for it

I just see it different now

Don’t call this love

If it comes and goes

If it only shows up

When you feel alone

Don’t call this love

If it fades that fast

If it’s there in the moment

Then it’s gone like that

You were there when it suited

Gone when it got real

Like it only mattered

When it was something to feel

I stayed a little longer

Tried to understand

But love don’t feel uncertain

It don’t slip through your hands

I don’t need to define it

I just know what it’s not

Don’t call this love

If it comes and goes

If it only shows up

When you feel alone

Don’t call this love

If it fades that fast

If it’s there in the moment

Then it’s gone like that

Maybe it meant something

But it wasn’t enough

Not everything real

Is something you call love

Don’t call this love

I won’t say it back

If it’s something that disappears

Every time it gets close like that

Don’t call this love

Now I see it clear

Some things feel like everything

Then disappear

If this was love

It wouldn’t feel like this
