Not What Love Is For

Not What Love Is For
(Manda/Rafael Salas/Trevin Pinto)

The more I hear your words I listen, but something doesn’t fit
Between the vowels and punctuation, your meaning I don’t get
You criticize me so completely, you say I should be tough
Yah you love me baby, but I’m never quite enough

It’s time for you to face the day, and see that I can hardly breathe
‘Cuz nobody’s keeping score, cuz that’s not what love is for
That's just not what love is for

You say you want to see me naked, but turn off all the lights
Your touch at times can be so gentle, but then you start a fight
Behind the pleasantries and gestures, your truth is just a crutch
Yeah you love me baby, but you don’t like me very much

It’s time for you to face the day, and see that I can hardly breathe
‘Cuz nobody’s keeping score, cuz that’s not what love is for
That's just not what love is for
No no no, no no no, I can’t take it anymore
No no no, no no no, that's not what love is for

And I believe that there’s a beauty inside
Just realized, how it shines
I believe that there’s a strength in my soul
I can proudly hold, yes it’s mine

Its time for me to face the day, and see that I can hardly breathe
Cuz nobody’s keeping score, cuz that’s not what love is for
That's just not what love is for
No no no, no no no, I can’t take it anymore
No no no, no no no, that's not what love is for
