Lyrics

When love is at your feet with promises to keep

Love is presented as a subservient force with commitments.

It's easy to pretend this road will never end

It is convenient to ignore the eventual conclusion of this journey.


This'll never be like love

Repeated emphasis that the situation will never equate to true love.

This'll never be like love

-

This'll never be like love

-

This'll never be like love

-

You argue and complain and give yourself away

Conflict and self-disclosure occur in futile arguments.

The deathless air you breathe, your social circle scene

The air you breathe is stagnant, and your social life is superficial.


This'll never be like love

Reiteration that the circumstances will not evolve into genuine love.

This'll never be like love

-

This'll never be like love

-

This'll never be like love

-

A cold and drowning sea of secrets that you keep

You are immersed in a cold and secretive sea of hidden truths.

The hand that moves the time, the tears, well, never mind

The force controlling time, and the tears shed are dismissed.


This'll never be like love

Continued emphasis on the impossibility of the situation turning into love.

This'll never be like love

-

This'll never be like love

-

This'll never be like love

-

Your faith has fallen down, confetti on the ground

Your faith has crumbled, like confetti scattered on the ground.

The pictures that you keep, the lies you tell to please

Your cherished memories and the lies you tell for appeasement.


This'll never be like love

Reiteration that the situation will never transform into genuine love.

This'll never be like love
