Title: “What Was Love?”

Title: “What Was Love?” [Verse 1] I used to believe in forever, Said it like it meant something real. Wrote my heart into every letter, Thought love was the way you heal. I gave like I’d never run empty, Like my chest had an endless supply. Now I look back and laugh at that girl— So naïve, so willing to die. [Pre-Chorus] I wore my heart out on my sleeve, Like it was something to prove. Now I don’t even recognize That version of the truth. [Chorus] What was love? Was it fire or just a lie? Was it deep, Or just me wanting not to cry? I used to say I’d die for it, Now I barely feel a thing. Since the day I “learned” what love was, I’ve been questioning everything. [Verse 2] I laugh at how I used to beg For crumbs dressed up as care. How I called bare minimum A love that wasn’t there. I used to romanticize the pain, Call chaos destiny. Now I choose myself so hard There’s nothing left of me. [Pre-Chorus] The more I built myself back up, The less I felt inside. Self-love turned into a wall Where every feeling died. [Chorus] What was love? Was it warmth or just control? Was it light, Or a shadow on my soul? I used to drown inside of it, Now I float above it all. Ever since I found myself, I don’t feel the fall. [Bridge – cold, detached] I don’t hate and I don’t crave, I don’t miss, I don’t regret. It’s funny how I feared heartbreak— Now I fear nothing yet. Maybe loving hurt too much, Maybe numbness feels safe. Maybe I outgrew the dream… Or maybe I just erased. [Outro] I used to believe in love. Now I question what it means. I used to feel everything. Now I live in between. And sometimes I laugh at the girl Who thought love was enough— Because I don’t even know What love is anymore.**
