Keep Telling Yourself That (This Isn't Love)
why cant i just be normal person
that makes things work normally
but whenever i try things worsen
and things always end informally
someone who drives me insane
with such acceptance i always fit
but i also want to wake up to black coffee
and someone who doesnt take my bullshit
oh god i know that youre both
this isnt love
its just lust
im just trying
to re-adjust
maybe is was a slip of the tongue
theres no way its their name you heard
you best stop typing "i love you" after every message
you could never give them what they deserve
you know...
oh?
you already know.
this isnt love
its just lust
flowers die and
turn to dust
the things that scare me the most
are the things that i can control
maybe the medicine dose
or a heart that i stole
yeah the things that scare me the most
are the things i cant control
such as relationship ghosts
or a screaming soul
i always want to feel desperate
i put myself myself through pain
but after awhile, its become
a rather boring game
this isnt love
its just lust
this isnt fate
its just distrust
keep telling yourself that
this isnt love
just keep telling yourself that
all it takes is a shove
keep telling yourself that
and what if you find it fits like a glove
and just keep telling yourself that
because gloves wont fit the sunny weather
and i think, and i worry
what if this isnt just lust
and screaming it might be love
what if i know ill just disgust
what if all of the above
just keep telling yourself that
and one day it might be true
that makes things work normally
but whenever i try things worsen
and things always end informally
someone who drives me insane
with such acceptance i always fit
but i also want to wake up to black coffee
and someone who doesnt take my bullshit
oh god i know that youre both
this isnt love
its just lust

I think you definitely captured a feeling here. I know that doesn't sound like a huge compliment but it is. It is the essence of poetry. Good job!

Is have to agree with the person above and say that "nothing is normal."
But I know what you mean for wanting peace in your life and I think this song is trying to say is that you need order and control back into your life.
