Ain't No Love
N.O.T.R. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't belong
Too many wrongs
I'm so undeserving
I'm lost inside confusing minds
A slave to what I'm feeling
Scared of what I'm thinking
I'm not worried about forgiving you
The simple truth

This ain't no ordinary love song
(This ain't no ordinary love song)
This ain't no ordinary love, love song
(This ain't no ordinary love song)
This ain't no ordinary love, love song

This love undone
Words left unsung
Now I have become me
The reasoning escapes my soul
That leads to understanding
Loving you to death
Is stopping someone else from living too
Now it's killing you

This ain't no ordinary love song
(This ain't no ordinary love song)
This ain't no ordinary love, love song
(This ain't no ordinary love song)
This ain't no ordinary love, love song

Losing control to all my thoughts
I want to let go but I cannot
This is my love, it's all I got
Don't take there in hell, I'll rot

This is my love, it's all I got
This is my love, it's all I got

This ain't no ordinary love song
This ain't no ordinary love
This ain't no ordinary love song
This ain't no ordinary love song
This ain't no ordinary love
This ain't no ordinary love song

This ain't no ordinary love
