Lyrics

This is not a love song

This song is not expressing romantic love.

It’s a question for you

The lyrics pose a question to the listener.

I don’t know the workings of my heart

The singer is uncertain about her own feelings.

Like I think I’m s’pose to

She feels a pressure to understand her emotions.

Do you?

The singer asks if the listener feels the same.

Ahh, do you?

Repetition of the question, emphasizing uncertainty.

This is not a love song

Reiteration that the song is not about love.

To be honest I’m a little mad

The singer is somewhat upset or frustrated.

The poets misled me

The singer blames poets for misleading her about love.

And didn’t help me understand

Poetry did not help her comprehend love.


Though I’m broken hearted

Despite heartbreak, the singer remains honest.

And no amount of words can help me heal

Words cannot heal the emotional wounds.

Imma still be honest

The singer admits the pain but stays truthful.

And say I have never felt pain like this

The pain experienced is unprecedented.

Not like this

Repetition emphasizing the intensity of pain.

Tell me does this feel the same for you

Asking if the listener shares the same feelings.


This is not a love song

Reiteration that it's not a traditional love song.

I am welcoming a fall from grace

The singer is open to experiencing a fall from grace.

Wondering if romanticisms right for me

Questioning the suitability of romanticism.

And I wanna throw the vail away

Expressing a desire to discard the veil of illusions.


Though I’m broken hearted

Reiteration of heartbreak and the inability to heal.

And no amount of words can help me heal

Words still cannot provide solace.

Imma still be honest

Continued honesty about the profound pain.

And say I have never felt pain like this

Repetition emphasizing the intensity of pain.

Not like this

Questioning if the listener shares this level of pain.

Tell me does this feel the same for you

Repetition, seeking confirmation of shared feelings.

Ahhh ....

Expressing emotion with an "Ahhh."

Does this feel the same?

Repetition of the question about shared feelings.


Though I’m broken hearted

Reiteration of heartbreak and the inability to heal.

And no amount of words can help me heal

Words still cannot provide solace.

Imma still be honest

Continued honesty about the profound pain.

And say I have never felt pain like this

Repetition emphasizing the intensity of pain.

Not like this

Questioning if the listener shares this level of pain.

Tell me does this feel the same for you?

Repetition, seeking confirmation of shared feelings.
