Verse 1 (Spoken-sung, UK cadence)
She’s lookin’ in the mirror, tears in her eyes,
Sayin’, “Is it really love or just another lie?”
Every touch feels heavy, every kiss feels strange,
She’s dreamin’ of forever but afraid to change.
Pre-Chorus (Gentle build)
Her heart’s a puzzle she can’t figure out,
One minute it’s hope, next minute it’s doubt.
Chorus (Melodic, emotional hook)
🎶 She says, “I don’t know what love is, don’t know if it’s real,
Don’t know if I can trust the way I feel.”
She’s lost in the fire, afraid of the flames,
Longing for love but scared of the pain.
She says, “I don’t know what love is, don’t know what it means,
Caught in the middle of broken dreams.” 🎶
Verse 2 (Spoken-sung, UK cadence)
She’s read the stories in paperbacks,
But real life’s cruel, it don’t give back.
Wants to believe in a fairytale end,
But every scar reminds her where she’s been.
Pre-Chorus (Gentle build)
Her voice is quiet but her soul screams loud,
Wantin’ to love but too broken to vow.
Chorus (Melodic, emotional hook)
🎶 She says, “I don’t know what love is, don’t know if it’s real,
Don’t know if I can trust the way I feel.”
She’s lost in the fire, afraid of the flames,
Longing for love but scared of the pain.
She says, “I don’t know what love is, don’t know what it means,
Caught in the middle of broken dreams.” 🎶
Bridge (Lift, soft humming under vocals)
(humming — “mmm… ohhh… mmm-mmm”)
Maybe love’s not perfect, maybe it’s scarred,
Maybe it’s closer than she thinks it is, not far.
Final Chorus (Soaring)
🎶 She says, “I don’t know what love is, don’t know if it’s real,
But I want to believe in the way it could heal.”
She’s lost in the fire, afraid of the flames,
But maybe true love will call her name.
She says, “I don’t know what love is, don’t know what it means…
But maybe someday, love will find me.” 🎶
