It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad)

She was always there each time I needed you, 
Holding on to me like I held on to you, 
We still don't have what you and I once had; 
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.

No, It's Not Love, not like ours was. It's Not Love, 
But it keeps love from driving me mad; 
And I don't have to wonder who she's had. 
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad

I turn to her when you leave me alone, 
Sometimes even when you're here, and you're still gone. 
She slowly changing what you leave so sad; 
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.

No, It's Not Love, not like ours was. It's Not Love, 
But it keeps love from driving me mad; 
And I don't have to wonder who she's had. 
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad
