This Is Not a Love Song

I never wrote a love song
You, you deserve a love song

I know every word that's ever been thought, I know each definition
I know every verb, every noun ever taught, I've read every edition
And I know every melody, every song that's ever been sung
I've heard every harmony, every sound under the sun
So I know what I'm talking about, when I say I know it's true
That a song will never capture the way I feel for you

Three minutes thirty of rhythm and rhyme
Melody and metaphor, tempo and time
Three minutes thirty to capture what's inside
Encapsulate my love for you, I won't even try

This is not a love song
I will never write a love song
This is not a love song
This is just a song to say I'll never write a song to say I love you

How could any words ever catch two lives built round each other
How could any melody ever match how you hold me together
Don't ask me to explain how it feels to hear you breathe
How it feels to watch you thinking, and to be with you when you dream
Don't ask me to explain how it feels to be so intertwined
That to even envision a version of me without you
Makes no sense in my mind

Three minutes thirty of rhythm and rhyme
Melody and metaphor, tempo and time
Three minutes thirty to capture what's inside
Encapsulate my love for you, I won't even try

This is not a love song
I will never write a love song
This is not a love song
This is just a song to say I'll never write a song to say I love you
This is just a song to say I'll never write a song to say
I love you
