That Isn't Love

[Pandie]

Ya know, I think It's time
To simply shoot it real
Forget the fairy tales
Tell it how it feels.

I've been writing things
About what's her's and his
Trying to figure out
Just what love really is.

I thought I knew it all
But I'm only twenty-one
Believing every love song
That's where it all begun.

It ain't about the secrets
Or what happens behind closed doors
It ain't about what you thought you need
But about what makes you sore.

Now I've fallin in love too many times
Thinking it was always real
Maybe you've all be there before
But I'm about to tell you how love really feels.

For everyone it's different
So don't think it's all the same
Treat it as a precious gift
And not some ruthless game.

Love's not about competition
What people say don't mean nuts
It's not about looking good
Or how much lovin you get.

There ain't no rules to follow
No guidelines to walk you through
No one can tell you your in love
That decision's left up to you.

Love isn't there for the taking
It takes alot of work
To realize that the love you find
Is worth the tears and hurt.

Love comes in many forms
That only you will see
And only you will know
If it's truely meant to be.

Forget what your boys told you
Ignore all those 'girl talks'
Cause when you finally fall in love
All you feel is shock.

You smile at the mere mention
Of that someones name
For once love gets ahold of you
You'll never be the same.

Together you feel comfortable
No matter what you do
And only when it's time to depart
Do you realize what they say is true.

That no matter where you are
Or who you want to become
You feel as if you are complete
When you're with that special someone.

So don't hold high to your fantasies
Their nothing but fake dreams
Just open your heart to the unexpected
And you'll see just what I mean...
