I couldn't write about it if I tried
I couldn't even look the feeling in the eyes
Years of feeling pain my heart was undeserving of
Tell me, how do you write a love song
When you're just not in love?

I made a challenge for myself last year
To give less credence
To emotions that aren't real
I could find the silver lining
Look for diamonds in the rough
Tell me, why should I write a love song
When I'm just not in love?

And I could try to humor who I was
And feign resentment or pretend I have a grudge
But really, my frustration isn't caused by anyone
Tell me, why should I write a love song?
Is it me who I don't love?

I'm not in love
