Not Like I’m In Love With You
Lauren Weintraub Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

We're just friends, right?
Like we've been, right?
So you can tell me 'bout the girl that you kissed last night
Keep going on about staying at her house
It's not like I feel like I could throw up right now
You're my ride or die
So I'm not jealous, right?
'Cause the way I feel about is just black and white
And I ain't been staying up
Overthinking us
Tripping all over these feelings, nah that'd be dumb

It's fine, yeah, it's cool
Not like I wanna make a move
It's fine, yeah, it's cool
It's not like I'm in love with you
Shit

No, I'm not feeling unwell
No, it's not scary as hell that I
Want you more than anyone else
Want your body all to myself
It's not like I'm losing my head
Thinking 'bout you in my bed
Keep doing that thing you do
It's not like I'm in love with you

It started slow but then like dominoes
I started free falling for you, no control
Couldn't hide the truth from my friends too
It's not like everybody knows but you

It's fine, yeah, it's cool
I totally know what to do
It's fine, yeah, it's cool
It's not like I'm in love with you

No, I'm not feeling unwell
No, it's not scary as hell that I
Want you more than anyone else
Want your body all to myself
It's not like I'm losing my head
Thinking 'bout you in my bed
Keep doing that thing you do
It's not like I'm in love with you

It's not like
It's not like I'm in love with you
It's not like
It's not like I'm in love with you

No, I'm not feeling unwell
No, it's not scary as hell that I
Want you more than anyone else
Want your body all to myself
It's not like I'm losing my head
Thinking 'bout you in my bed
Keep doing that thing you do
It's not like I'm in love with you

I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with you
But it's not like I'm in love with you
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with you
But it's not like I'm in love with you
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with you
But it's not like I'm in love with you
I'm in love
I'm in love




I'm in love with you
But it's not like I'm in love with you

Overall Meaning

In Lauren Weintraub's song "Not Like I'm in Love with You," the lyrics explore the complex emotions of being infatuated with someone while trying to maintain the facade of just being friends. The singer begins by acknowledging that they are just friends and can handle hearing about the person's romantic encounters with other people. However, deep down, they are conflicted and feel a sense of jealousy and discomfort. They express that their feelings are clear-cut and not something they can easily brush off, even if they pretend otherwise.


The chorus repeats the mantra of "it's fine, yeah, it's cool" to convince themselves that they can handle their emotions and not make a move on the person they are infatuated with. But the repetition hints at their struggle to believe this, as the truth is that they are in love with this person. The lyrics continue to deny any feelings of sickness or fear, but it becomes increasingly evident that they want the person more than anyone else, both emotionally and physically. The intensity of their emotions becomes undeniable to themselves, even though they rationalize that they are not losing control.


The second verse reveals that the singer's attraction to this person has grown stronger over time. It suggests that they couldn't hide their true feelings from their friends, although the person they are in love with remains unaware. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes their attempt to convince themselves that they have it all figured out and can handle the situation without confessing their love.


Overall, "Not Like I'm in Love with You" portrays the internal struggle of loving someone while trying to maintain a platonic relationship. It captures the conflict between wanting to express their feelings and the fear of potentially losing a valued friendship.

This song just make me falling for her more. Its like the perfect song. I felt that “shit” part the most. 😭
Met her on a train. She came to me to chitchat while we had a ride for 20 mins together. Her eyes made me loose time. I cant recall half of what she was saying 😅
I found her on Facebook and messaged her. We figured out we both like each other. We went on a date and she told me shes in a relationship. In an open one. Shes 10 years younger than me. We had a beautiful date. She told me she likes me a lot but not ready for a relationship like that. Shit. We decided to be friends. I told her i want her to live the life she wants. To enjoy the years how she needs to. And when shes ready i will be here. Waiting for her.
We talk every day. It kills me when i know she is with sb else. But i know its what she needs now. And i dont want to be one from many. Im not the type. Shes not happy with her relationship. But she has a lot going on and im living 3h away. So i get it. At some point. But it is like a domino. I started free falling, no control.

Its not that im loosing my head. Keep doing the things you do . Its not like im in love with you. Right? Gonna see her tomorrow. After 3 weeks again. Then in another 3 weeks as well.
When shes around im loosing my mind. All i want is to kiss her. And i know she feels the same way. But if i do, theres no way back from my feelings. Shes at a university. I hope i can make two years like this. She said she needs time. Am i ready giving it to her or i will loose control? 🥺

So not cool to meet someone in a wrong time 💔
