But I Don't Love You Cowritten with Robbie Medeiros Chorus: I don't love you; of this I'm sure. Love is a sickness. You are the cure. Love is a sickness. You are the cure. I don't love you; of this I'm sure. I love the rise and fall of your chest As you sleep, and the way you breathe soft when you rest. I love the shape your mouth makes, an upward sliver, When I'm being particularly clever. I love your hair, the way it tangles, Defies gravity, sticks up at odd angles. Your seriousness, and your mouth, In a hard line, in a smirk, in a pout. Expressive, severe, and always true, I love all these things, but I don't love you. Chorus So I've set myself up in this gilded cage, Set you up, set you up for the fall that comes later. It's all there for you, every step of the way. Paved in hope, see how I lay, This path of disappointment out for you. The one walked by many more before you. I don't love you now, shouldn't love you ever. Why start a love that must be severed? But this is what I want. This is what's true. I love this cage, but I don't love you. Chorus Your eye is not ice, nor earth, nor fire. There's surely no love in it either. No emotion so base, or simple, or pure. I don't love you; of this I'm sure. Your eye is not a window into your soul, It isn't a light that makes me whole. Just an eye, not a crystal, not a way, To peer into you, to find what I pray. To find what I want, what I hope if true. I love your eyes, but I don't love you. Chorus Though I don't love you now, allow me the favour, Of thinking this is how it will be forever. Allow me the lie of knowing I'm safe, Safe from the world in my cage. Let me be fooled, let me be a fool, Let me be fooled for now. Show me how you believe the love that you see, Even if the only one I'm fooling is me. Verse 1/Chorus Mix I love all these things, but I don't love you. |
