This Is Not Love

This, this, this is not love
I don't know what it is
But I know this
This is not love

You touch with selfish hands
This is not love
You speak in cold demands
This is not love

Whatever you take, it isn't giving
When I have no choice
What kind of life am I living
If I, I have no voice?

I don't know what it is, but...

Sometimes you say the words
But this is not love
Afterthought apologies
Are not enough

To make me believe
Make me forgive you
Repair the damage done
It's not enough to say you're sorry
And still have your fun

I want to feel that I can fall
And not be made to feel a fool
I want to look up and see a bright light
Shining through
To see arms outstretched to hold me
Wanting nothing in return
But only for me to feel safe and secure
Is that too much to ask for?
Is it so wrong to want more than this?

Because this, this, this is not love
Oh, this is not love
This is not love
This is not love
This is not love
I don't know what it is
But I want out of it
