I couldn’t resist exploring this idea. It started with a philosophical statement and turned into a song. It’s more reflective than story-driven, which felt right - and philosophical songs aren’t new territory for me. Last year I wrote a few songs inspired by Einstein quotes. This one grows on you as is progresses. What Love Ishttps://soundclick.com/song/15171980[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] I thought love was fireworks in the dark A rush of words, a reckless start I thought it lived in perfect days No cracks, no scars, no debts to pay [Verse] I chased the feeling, not the truth Held onto ghosts of wasted youth I called it love, but deep inside Something always felt denied [Pre-chorus] I walked through fire, I crossed the cold To find the warmth I couldn’t hold [Chorus] We never know what love is Until we know what it’s not It’s not the quiet nights feeling alone Or the tears that time forgot It’s learning how to stay and breathe When leaving feels like the safer thought We never know what love is Until we know what it’s not [Break] [Verse] Love doesn’t wound to make you stay Or turn your light into its shade It meets you where you really are And sees the beauty in your scars [Pre-chorus] I walked through fire, through the cold To find the warmth I couldn’t hold [Chorus] We never know what love is Until we know what it’s not It’s not the quiet nights feeling alone Or the tears that time forgot It’s learning how to stay and breathe When leaving feels like the safer thought We never know what love is Until we know what it’s not [Bridge] Now I know love feels like home Like being seen when you’re alone It doesn’t ask you to pretend It lets you break, and helps you mend [Interlude] [Chorus] We never know what love is Until we know what it’s not It’s not the quiet nights feeling alone Or the tears that time forgot It’s learning how to stay and breathe When leaving feels like the safer thought We never know what love is Until we know what it’s not [Outro] We never know what love is Until we know what it’s not

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
