I Do Not Love You

(album: Atlanta - 2012)

I do not love you for the way you kiss
Though your lips, they can put me at ease
And I do not love you for your sweet green eyes
Though I love when they're looking at me
And I do not love you for the way your hands
Can touch me and quiet my soul
I love you for all of this and so much more

I do not love you for the way you dress
Though you do look so lovely tonight
And I do not love you for the things you know
Though I've always admired your mind
And I do not love you for the way I feel
That first moment you walk through the door
I love you for all of this and so much more

And all I know is you're the part of me that keeps me strong
And what I want is for us to face forever
Standing up together, eyes turned towards the heavens, arm in arm

I do not love you for the way my heart
Seems to live somewhere inside your chest
And I do not love you for the way your arms
They can hold me until I forget
And I do not love you for the way you've been
Exactly what I'm looking for
I love you for all of this and so much more

I love you for all of this and so much more
