This Can't Be Love
Unbelievable Emotions: The Mystery Beyond Love
Lyrics
Wouldn't want to go calling this love
Expressing reluctance to label the relationship as love.
That word isn't close enough
Believing that the word "love" falls short in capturing the depth of the connection.
To describe what we've got here
Describing the unique and special nature of the relationship.
My heart is still in one piece
Indicating emotional wholeness and stability.
I can eat and I can sleep
Highlighting physical and emotional well-being.
I haven't cried one single tear
Emphasizing the absence of tears, suggesting happiness and contentment.
I never lost my freedom
Asserting that personal freedom has not been compromised.
And I'm too secure to be afraid
Feeling secure and unafraid in the relationship.
This can't be love you're giving me
Doubting that the intense, positive emotions experienced constitute traditional love.
It feels too good, comes so easy
Describing the overwhelming and effortless joy derived from the relationship.
It's gettin' stronger every day
Noting the increasing strength of emotions over time.
Like it's never gonna fade away
Expressing the belief that the positive feelings will endure.
This can't be love I feel for you
Reiterating the disbelief that the intense emotions are love.
It's nothing like what I've been through
Comparing the current feelings to past experiences of love.
It's gotta be something new
Suggesting that the emotions are unique and different from previous encounters.
This just can't be love
Affirming the skepticism about the nature of the emotions being love.
Every love I knew up until now
Reflecting on past disappointments in love.
Picked me up just to let me down
Experiencing a pattern of being let down by previous relationships.
I've been every shade of blue
Describing a history of emotional distress and sadness.
I never quite felt sure inside
Admitting to previous uncertainties and insecurities.
A little nervous and a little tongue tied
Acknowledging nervousness and difficulty expressing oneself.
But I can always talk to you
Highlighting the comfort and ease of communication in the current relationship.
Look at us we're still together
Celebrating the enduring nature of the relationship.
Love's never taken me this far
Expressing that love has never taken the speaker this far before.
This can't be love you're giving me
Repeating the disbelief in the love being experienced.
It feels too good, comes so easy
Reiterating the overwhelming and easy nature of the positive emotions.
It's gettin' stronger every day
Noting the continued strengthening of emotions.
Like it's never gonna fade away
Expressing the belief that the positive feelings will endure.
This can't be love I feel for you
Reiterating the skepticism about the nature of the emotions being love.
It's nothing like what I've been through
Comparing the current feelings to past experiences of love.
It's gotta be something new
Suggesting that the emotions are unique and different from previous encounters.
This just can't be love
Affirming the skepticism about the nature of the emotions being love.
