I Don't Believe in Love Lyrics

I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, I didn't do it
She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she'd meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, I'd never find her

I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

No more nightmares, I've seen them all
From the day I was born
They've haunted my every move
Every open hand's there to push and shove
No time for love it doesn't matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye

I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

No chance for contact
There's no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day I'll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it's all the same to me

I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel, feel
The pain that you feel, feel

What is the Meaning of I Don't Believe in Love?

Imagine waking up to a life where love is as elusive as a unicorn at a petting zoo. Our protagonist finds himself handcuffed by heartbreak and under the surveillance of memories that just won't quit. Haunted by past nightmares and broken promises, he's convinced that love is nothing more than an emotional booby trap. His once bright nights have turned into shadowy strolls, all thanks to a mysterious "she" who vanished without so much as a goodbye note. Now, our love skeptic vows never to believe in love again, deeming it unworthy of the pain it brings. #HeartbreakHotel #LoveIsAMyth
