The song "Ain't a Love" by The Heavy is about a person who has strong feelings for someone, but realizes that the love they have is not the kind they want. The lyrics talk about how the person heard through the grapevine that the object of their affections is coming to town, and how they have a history of breaking hearts and messing around. Despite this, the person reminisces about a past relationship and how much they loved the other person. The lyrics also express the idea that the singer is willing to do anything to win the other person's love, even if it means putting themselves in danger or sacrificing their own well-being. However, ultimately the realization comes that this kind of love is not healthy or fulfilling, and the person must move on. Overall, the song is about the struggles of love and the realization that sometimes what we think we want is not actually what we need. It encourages listeners to be honest with themselves about what they truly want from a relationship and to not settle for anything less.
