about

"This song was written after I broke up with a girl on my terms. I just wasn't feeling the love. The lyrics reflect my feelings about many relationships I have had and are all mixed up. When I write, the words just come naturally and I don't plan them out or think them through too much so this is not an analysis but a catharsis. It is one of my older songs."

S.Jessop

lyrics

'Not In Love'
By Scott Jessop

You make me feel like i'm in love but I know better
She knows that it is her I'm thinking of /
'cause I wrote a letter to her
Explain why pros are cons to me and it's not sticking
Went for six weeks without your sex and I've still got hickies, Vicky I'm...

Not in love / Just want to be myself sometimes
Am I alive? / Just want to close my eyes and die

This vision of your hair alight / it makes me wealthy
I'll let you lie in my arms tonight if you help me
Your crush on me / So cynical trust that I'll leave you
Paint me out to be a baddie, blush / I believe you I'll leave you, I'm...

Not in love / Just want to be myself sometimes
Am I alive? / Just want to close my eyes and die
Not in love / Just want to feel myself sometimes
Am I alive? / Just want to close my eyes and die
