What Were In Isnt Love

I’m half me
Are you half you
We’ve given up
Still there’s much to lose 

We’re lying here together 
When we should call a truce
For fighting off these feelings 
There really is no use

What we’re in....isn’t love
We’ve settled for
What’s not part of us
We both miss
The passion and lust
Cause what we’re in.... isn’t love 

Would you like coming home
To open arms
Kisses that aren’t shallow 
That are now the norm

I bet everyday
Would feel like years
Anticipating and waiting
For what awaits us dear

All the nights we could be talking
Wishing they never had an end
Instead we’re stuck here wondering
Not just settlin’

What we’re in....isn’t love
We’ve settled for
What’s not part of us
We both miss
The passion and lust
Cause what we’re in.... isn’t love

We’re waiting to find what we left behind
Way back in our youth...
The hardest part is knowing
And hiding from the truth

What we’re in....isn’t love
We’ve settled for
What’s not part of us
We both miss
The passion and lust
Cause what we’re in.... isn’t love


What we’re in....
Isn’t love
