As Long As It's Not About Love Lyrics

I feel the song is misunderstood. My opinion is that it's simply about falling in love. How a guy reluctant to fall in love meets this person and "Only magic could take away my heart ... I am always afraid for my heart" shows that his heart was tough to take away... he doesn't believe in true love .. feels like love is a fairy tale..

If you just read through the verses you'll see how it got stronger ... "But I must keep my heart from my mind" - he's trying to stay true to himself .. "And the magic was stronger than the heart ... Oh, I can't run away with my heart" - he's starting to feel overpowered by his emotions.. "Cause maybe it's all above love" this line says it all.

My Interpretation

@Kayos3474 I totally agree and would add that the person is willing to give in to "talk" and listen to "sweet lies" as long as it's not about love. But if whatever "magic" (work, fame, money, etc.) keeps them apart and they can't see each other again then "take a part of me away, cause maybe it's all above love..."
