about

‘This is not a love song’ is about breaking up with someone and coming to terms with not sharing your life with that person anymore. It is about the freedoms of being exactly who you want to be while also grieving the relationship. I think there’s an element of silliness to the sound reflecting this weird ingenuine feeling I had trying comfort my ex partner about a situation where I was entirely responsible for their heartbreak.

lyrics

THIS IS NOT A LOVE SONG
But I’m scared that when you touch me
My heart beats at light speed
And I’ll think it’s love
Cause it’s not lonely

This is not a love song
But it’s also not a sad song
Loved you for so very long
Loving yous made be who I have become

I can’t
be who I’m not
Anymore
And I’m not yours

Living with a blind fold
Kidding with my eyes closed
Missing having you to hold
Thinking about the way I let you down

There’s no time for shame
To-do list I can not sustain
Paperwork hanging from my bed frame
The flowers you got me still pretty dead and brown

I can’t
Be who I’m not
Anymore
And I’m not yours

But I am
The person I am
How can it not be
Because you loved me
Because you loved me
Because you loved me
