Not about love.
The early cars already are,
Drawing deep breaths past my door,
And last night's phrases,
Sick with lack of basis,
And still writhing on my floor.
it doesn't seem fair,
That your wicked words should work,
In holding me down,
No, it doesn't seem right.
This is not about love,
Hell no not about love,
'Cause I am not in love,
In fact I can't stop falling out.
What is this posture,
I have to stare at,
That's what he said when I'm sitting up straight,
Change the name of the game 'cause he lost,
And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late,
But I'm not being fair,
'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth,
But I'd like to choose right,
Take all the things that I've said that he stole,
Put them in a sack,
Swing them over my shoulder,
Turn on my heels,
Step out of this sight,
Try to live in a lovelier life.
This is not about love,
Hell no not about love,
'Cause I am not in love,
In fact I can't stop falling out.
You want to make me sick,
You want to lick my wounds,
Don't you, baby?
If you need my shame to reclaim your pride,
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists,
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try,
You'll beat me with your bitter lies,
So call me crazy,
‘Cause its not about love,
It wont be long till you'll be,
Lying limp in your own hand.
This is not about love,
Hell no not about love,
'Cause I am not in love,
In fact I can't stop falling out.
You feed the beast I have within me,
You wave the red flag, baby you make it run,
Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning,
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun.
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists,
But think of this shit, its not about love,
Hell no not about love,
It wont be long till you'll be,
Lying limp in your own hand.
This is not about love,
Hell no not about love,
'Cause I am not in love,
In fact I can't stop falling out.
