grinding my teeth on the train, on my way out to meet you
i’m burning to be a brand-new version of me when i see you
all the limits and the borderlines are stretching out and shaking me awake
i thought i put to sleep my desire to keep you, up until today
it isn’t really love
you are not the one
surely you are more than just familiar. i’ve put up a brilliant fight
and i know these city streets like i’d know the curve of your cheek in any light
what if i could swallow this? the more i choke, the less i’d miss of you?
you were safely out to sea, barely bound to me, and unforgiven too
it isn’t really love
you are not the one
it isn’t really, no no
holding back this thunder as another “nice to see you” slips away
the damage done is less, but you’d never guess the secrets that i save
my one and only weakness lingers on beyond my best defense
if i rise from underneath this, will i only just be free to fall again?
you are not the one
it isn’t really love, no no
you are not the one
