Song Description
"If It Wasn't Love" is the haunting single crafted to echo the ache of love that lingers long after it's gone. The track blends emotive lyrics with ethereal production to explore the confusion, denial, and heartbreak that follow a one-sided goodbye.
Glowen's voice -- simultaneously intimate and otherworldly -- carries a fragile strength as she sings through the questions that remain unanswered. With lines like "I swear I'm fine, but my silence screams" and "Some people leave even when you try," the song becomes a memory capsule of loss, vulnerability, and unresolved love.
Glowen doesn't just perform a song -- she embodies the emotional fragments we often keep hidden. "If It Wasn't Love" is an invitation to feel what we've forgotten how to say.

Lyrics
Verse 1
You held me like I'd slip away
Like you already knew you wouldn't stay
And I held back what I should've said
'Cause I was scared it might end faster if I did
Pre-Chorus
You smiled, but not with your eyes
Spoke in "maybes," lived in lies
I told myself you just needed time
But some people leave even when you try
Chorus
If it wasn't love
Why's it still hurting like this?
If it wasn't love
Why do I still feel the miss?
If it meant nothing
Why does everything feel off?
If it wasn't love...
Then what do you call this?
Verse 2
I still flinch when someone says your name
Still avoid that old café
And I swear I'm fine, but my silence screams
Louder than any goodbye could ever mean
Pre-Chorus
You said, "You'll be okay"
And left like that fixed everything
But healing doesn't start with lies
And I can't keep pretending I'm alright
Chorus
If it wasn't love
Why's it still hurting like this?
If it wasn't love
Why do I still feel the miss?
If it meant nothing
Why does everything feel off?
If it wasn't love...
Then what do you call this?
Bridge
You never said goodbye
You just slowly faded
And somehow that's worse
Than being hated
Final Chorus
If it wasn't love
Why's it still hurting like this?
If it wasn't love
Why do I still feel the miss?
If it meant nothing
Why does everything feel off?
If it wasn't love...
Then what do you
