This Ain't Love
Unraveling Love's Deception: Saving Miles Lemon's Poignant Message
Lyrics
I wanted to see how you lived you life
Expressing curiosity about the way the person lives their life.
And if you'd share it with me
Wondering if the person is willing to share their life with the speaker.
I never would judge you for wanting to be happy
Assuring that judgment won't be passed for the desire to be happy.
How could I be so unkind?
Reflecting on a past unkind action or thought.
But this ain't love
Stating that the current situation is not love but a falsehood.
It's a lie
Emphasizing the deceptive nature of the relationship.
It makes no sense to me
Expressing confusion or disbelief about the situation.
No this ain't love half the time
Reiterating that the current state is not love most of the time.
And I'm only coming over
Clarifying the purpose of coming over is for a conversation.
So we can talk it over
Highlighting the intention to discuss the issues in the relationship.
But you can only hear what you expect me to say
Expressing concern that the other person may only hear what they expect.
And I fear you won't have it
Fearing that the person may not accept any alternative viewpoints.
Any other way
Suggesting a potential resistance to alternative perspectives.
Any other way
Repeating the idea that there may not be any other accepted way.
(No other way)
Reinforcing the notion that there is "No other way."
There's no other way
Reiterating the lack of alternative solutions or perspectives.
I had it figured out
Claiming to have initially understood the situation early on.
From like the second or third day
Recalling having it figured out by the second or third day.
But you keep
Observing a pattern of the person changing their behavior.
Switchin' up, switchin' up
Noting a consistent tendency to find new reasons for actions.
Finding new reasons
Highlighting the persistence of the same outcome despite changes.
But the ending always stays the same
Emphasizing the predictability of the relationship's conclusion.
There's no other way
Reiterating the absence of alternative ways or outcomes.
I had it figured out
Repeating the realization of the situation from early on.
From like the second or third day
Recalling the understanding of the situation by the second or third day.
But you keep
Noting the consistent pattern of the person changing their behavior.
Switchin' up, switchin' up
Highlighting the continuous search for new justifications.
Finding new reasons
Emphasizing the unchanging nature of the relationship's outcome.
But the ending always stays the same
Observing the persistence of the same ending despite variations.
(No other way)
Reiterating the idea that there is "No other way" for the relationship.
