I Was In Love With Being In Love

I Was In Love With Being In Love

When I first met you, I could not forget you
And that delicious feeling stayed with me through the night
You were in all my dreams, floating in from moonbeams
I could feel your arms around me, you were holding me so tight

I gazed at your picture
I doodled your name
You were my permanent fixture
Till I realised this was just a game

I was in love with being in love, but I wasn’t in love with you
How easily I could fill this space with someone new
I cried because I’d been so sure, I’d sworn my heart was true
But I was in love with being in love, and I was never in love with you

You were my obsession, my favourite possession
I called out your name even when you were not there
I planned our tomorrows, I would beg, steal and borrow
To make sure that I didn’t lose this precious thing caught in my snare

I wouldn’t be stupid
I polished my arrows, took aim
I was counting on Cupid
Till I realised this was just a game

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it
But I guess I was just using you to soothe my soul
I’m sorry, it took a while till I’d seen it
And I have to look inside myself to make me whole, make me whole again

I was in love with being in love, but I wasn’t in love with you
How easily I filled this space with someone new
I cried because I’d been so sure, I’d sworn my heart was true
But I was in love with being in love, and I wasn’t in love with you

Now I’ve finally faced myself after all I’ve put you through
It’s not being in love with being in love, it’s loving myself too
Through the boredom and frustration, and the days of feeling blue
Now I’m not just in love with being in love, I am IN LOVE WITH YOU
No, I’m not just in love with being in love, I am IN LOVE WITH YOU
Because I’m okay all by myself, but I am IN LOVE WITH YOU.
