Can't Be Love

It’s the moment when two people meet and the world begins shaking

It’s the day I looked into your eyes and I began fall

I fell for you, I fell and my heart began aching

Never close enough, in between us was a wall 

Was this love? 

Was it love when you yelled at me, you screamed?

Was it love that brought me to tears?

No it can’t be, this isn’t what I dreamed

No instead it’s all my combined fears

This isn’t love 

Yet I look at you and my world stops

I look at you and shivers crawl up my spine

When I’m away from you, my heartbeat drops

It’s crazy, but somehow it feels fine 

Is this love?

Could it be that I’ve finally found it

Discovered what once didn’t survive

The truth is, there’s nothing to admit

It’s what I once needed to thrive 

Can’t be love

But it’s the reason I’m alive

Because if you hadn’t come I had no reason

I needed you, I needed you to survive

It’s why I hold onto you, every season 

You are the reason

So hold onto me and don’t break my trust

Because my hearts been ripped apart

I can’t take one more hit, it’s unjust

Another hit and what’s broken is my heart

But you are gone

You have thrown me off the plank and left me bleeding

You’ve broken your promises, you’ve thrown them away

Everything you said was so misleading

I thought we were in love, I thought you would stay

You are gone

Truthfully, you didn’t even try, no not even once

So it doesn’t matter if my heart still beats for you

All I want is a little vengeance

I want you, but I can’t fall through

Because this was never love
