This Is Not Love

Written last night

Too many times

That cheek's been turned

That cheek has burned

My lesson's learned

This is not love

Too many times

That jab's been thrown

That jab has shown

What I've long known

This is not love

Too many times

That cheek's been turned

Too many times

That cheek has burned
