Not in Love Lyrics
I saw your picture
Hanging on the back of my door
Won't give you my heart
No one lives there anymore
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again, oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus: Robert Smith]
'Cause it's cold outside
When you coming home?
'Cause it's hot inside
Isn't that enough?
[Chorus: Robert Smith]
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
[Verse 2: Robert Smith]
Could it be that
Time has taken its toll?
Won't take you so far
I am in control
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again, oh-oh-oh
'Cause it's cold outside
When you coming home?
'Cause it's hot inside
Isn't that enough?
[Chorus: Robert Smith]
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
[Bridge: Ethan Kath]
(Now we can't be friends)
(Fascination ends)
(Here we go again, oh-oh-oh)
('Cause it's cold outside)
(When you coming home?)
('Cause it's hot inside)
(Isn't that enough?)
[Chorus: Robert Smith]
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
About
Not In Love is a cover of Toronto band Platinum Blonde’s song of the same name, with slight alterations to the lyrics.
The original album version featured pitch-shifted vocals by Ethan Kath, but they were was replaced on later versions of the album with vocals by Robert Smith of the British band The Cure.
At the time of the recording, Crystal Castles were friends with Mark Holmes, lead singer and bassist of the Platinum Blondes.
The song describes the evolution of an on-and-off relationship and the occasional hopes of the narrator that their partner may change their mind and come back to them while claiming at the same time that they are not in love, contradicting themselves in a way.
