Not What Love Is
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I've never been afraid of another heartbreak
Survived the last time, but this year is gonna take
A lot of tears, a lot of prayers
A lot of time in the dark, a lot of walks in the park
Please hear me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know exactly how it feels to have a breakdown
This pain I feel
There's nothing left to say now
So many years, too many tears
My heart is breaking apart
I wonder how did it start
You hear me
[Chorus]
I can feel it when I look in your eyes
It's like my heart is beating for you and I'm dying inside
For all them times that I tried
For all those times that you lied
It ain't worth it, no more hurtin'
That's not what love is (not what love is)
That's not what love is (it's not what love is)
That's not what love is
That's not what love is
[Verse 2]
I know the feeling when you make the same mistakes
You try to hide it, you do whatever it takes
You always smile in front of crowds
But you are crying inside
You got the rain in your eyes
Please tell me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know exactly how it feels to have a breakdown (breakdown)
This pain I feel
There's nothing left to say now
So many years, too many tears
My heart is breaking apart
I wonder how did it start
You hear me
[Chorus]
I can feel it when I look in your eyes (look in your eyes)
It's like my heart is beating for you and I'm dying inside (inside)
For all them times that I tried (tried)
For all those times that you lied (that you lied)
It ain't worth it, no more hurtin' (no more hurtin')
That's not what love is (love is)
[Bridge 1]
We try to stick it out together (oh, you know that we tried)
But our pride wouldn't let us work it out (but our pride wouldn't let us work it out)
What was it all about (all about)
We never figured out (figured out)
And now we lost it
All for nothing (all for nothing)
[Verse 3: Rap]
Who would've though I would end up with my heart torn?
Now I'm tryna mend up
Can't count on the prayers that I sent up
Now you gone, realize that I miss ya
But it's done, can't turn back time now
But it's you on my mind when I ride 'round
With shades for the tears in my eyes now
Only thing that can fix me is time now, 'cause I'm hurtin'
[Chorus]
I can feel it when I look in your eyes (look in your eyes)
It's like my heart is beating for you and I'm dying inside (oh no, no, no)
For all them times that I tried
For all those times that you lied (times that you lied)
It ain't worth it, no more hurtin' (no, no)
That's not what love is
[Bridge 2]
No heartbreak, no more pain (that's not what love is)
No crying, no time for heartache (you know that's not what love is)
You are no longer here (you are not here)
Our love has disappeared (love has disappeared)
We shed too many tears (oh, oh, oh)
That's not what love is (what love is)
No heartbreak, no more pain
No crying, no time for heartache
You are no longer here
Our love has disappeared
We shed too many tears
That's not what love is
[Outro]
That's not what love is
I can't turn back time
I just know, I taught you how to love
And I love you still
