I'm Not Your Lover
Unveiling Heartbreak: I'm Not Your Lover by Jann Arden
Lyrics
I'm not your lover
I'm not in a romantic relationship with you
And I am not your baby no more
I am no longer your affectionate term of endearment
I'm not your girlfriend
I'm not your female romantic partner
And you don't have to tell me
You need not explain, as I already understand
'Cause I already know
You've hurt me emotionally
You already broke me down
You've emotionally damaged me
I'm not your perfect angel
I'm not your ideal, flawless companion
I am not your one and only
I am not the sole person in your affections
I'm not your sweet magnolia
I'm not the epitome of sweetness and purity for you
It's not like you never told me
You've previously conveyed this information to me
Love was just a fast car
Love was fleeting for you, like a speedy car
And I was just a cross on the road
I was just a passing point in your life
Now you've got my tongue all twisted
You've confused and silenced me
You've got me all strung out
You've left me in a state of emotional distress
I'm lining up the pieces of my heart on the kitchen floor
I'm trying to mend my broken heart on the kitchen floor
Is that what love is?
Questioning if this is the true nature of love
Is that what love's all about?
Reflecting on whether this is the essence of love
I'm not your lover
Reiterating the absence of a romantic connection
And I don't think you ever loved me
Doubting if genuine love was ever present
I'm not your partner
I'm not your committed companion
And I don't think I ever could be
Expressing uncertainty about the possibility of being your partner
Love is like lightning
Love is intense and fleeting like lightning
Thunder's what you've got when it's gone
The aftermath of love is comparable to the lingering echoes of thunder
I'm not your lover
Reiterating the absence of a romantic connection
And I am not your baby no more
I am no longer your affectionate term of endearment
I'm not your girlfriend
I'm not your female romantic partner
And you don't have to tell me
You need not explain, as I already understand
'Cause I already know
You've hurt me emotionally
You already broke my heart
You've caused emotional pain and heartbreak
Now you've got my tongue all twisted
You've confused and silenced me
You've got me all strung out
You've left me in a state of emotional distress
I'm lining up the pieces of my heart on the kitchen floor
I'm trying to mend my broken heart on the kitchen floor
Tell me, is that what love is?
Questioning if this is the true nature of love
Is that what love's all about?
Reflecting on whether this is the essence of love
I'm not your lover
Reiterating the absence of a romantic connection
I'm not your baby no more
I am no longer your affectionate term of endearment
