This Ain’t A Love Song off the These Days album is a song about heartache, losing someone you love. Look at the chorus “If the love that I got for you's gone, if the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song” It explains itself, if what he had isn’t gone then it’s not a love song . . . but it is, so it is a love song, it’s an “I miss you” song.
Lyrics
I should have seen it coming when roses died Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes I should have listened when you said good night You really meant good bye Baby, ain't it funny, how you never ever learn to fall You're really on your knees, when you think you're standing tall But only fools are "know-it-alls" and I played that fool for you I cried and I cried There were nights that died for you baby I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby If the love that I got for you is gone If the river I cried ain't that long Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time Like we got away with the perfect crime But we were just a legend in my mind I guess that I was blind Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade You and I were the renegades, some things never change It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby Now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving If the love that I got for you is gone If the river I've cried ain't that long Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong, this ain't a love song If the pain that I'm feeling so strong Is the reason that I'm holding on Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song I cried and I cried There were nights that I died for you baby I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy If the love that I got for you is gone If the river I cried ain't that long Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't no love song If the pain that I'm feeling so strong Is the reason that I'm holding on Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song If the pain that I'm feeling so strong Is the reason that I'm holding on Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
