This Isn't Love

YRYS, Ilan Videns

About the song

“This Isn’t Love” is a song about a connection that feels deeper and more creative than normal romance. The main idea is that the relationship isn’t just about feelings or labels, but about building something meaningful together. Love is shown as something made, shaped, and shared—like art.

In the verses, the singer explains that they’re usually logical and practical, more comfortable with facts than emotions. But meeting this person changes that. The other person is more emotional and creative, and they see the singer’s heart like a blank canvas. Instead of fear, that difference feels exciting and refreshing.

The chorus compares their bond to art rather than love. It’s something they create together, slowly and intentionally. They’re drawn to each other naturally, without forcing it. The song celebrates balance—logic and emotion, structure and freedom—and shows how love can feel most real when it’s treated like something personal and carefully made.

Lyrics

I’m usually the pragmatic type
The numbers like me more than feelings
If it’s enough then it’s the vibe

But you found a way to change ma’ mind
You’re not like that, you like the feeling
Of the blank canvas that’s ma’ heart

This isn’t love
This is art
We paint it
In our heart
Drawn to each other from the start

Let’s make it clear
I love fast cars
But I don’t mean I love the speeding
Of this thing that’s between us

I like how you’re so different from me
Artistic and a little greedy
That’s even better than the dimes

This isn’t love
This is art
We paint it
In our heart
Drawn to each other from the start

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

This isn’t love
This is art
We paint it
In our heart
Drawn to each other from the start
