Don’t Call It Love

[Verse] (slow, sparse, vocal-led)

I’ve heard that word too many times

Said too easy, left behind me

What I feel when you’re this near now

Ain’t that simple, ain’t that clear now

[Pre-Chorus] (slight build, drums enter)

Love don’t weigh this much on me now

Love don’t cut this deep inside me

[Chorus] (big but restrained, held notes)

Don’t call it love… not enough for me

That word’s too small… to say what I

This is fire… slow and warm inside

This is more than love… to me now

[Verse] (grittier vocal, blues phrasing)

I’ve seen love fade, I’ve seen it lie

Empty vows that don’t survive now

When you fall into my arms slow

I feel home and I feel scars now

[Pre-Chorus] (half lift, harmony tease)

Love don’t shake me to the bone now

Love don’t feel like coming home

[Chorus] (full band, open chords)

Don’t call it love… not enough for me

That word’s too small… to say what I

This is fire… slow and warm inside

This is more than love… to me now

[Bridge] (half-time, stripped, emotional)

If love’s just words they throw away now

Then let it fade and fall apart now

[Final Chorus] (biggest, longest holds)

Don’t call it love… not enough for me

That word’s too small… to say what I

This is fire… slow and warm inside

This is more than love… to me now

[Outro] (fade, vocal ad-libs)

Don’t call it love…

Call it us now
