Not This Time

Story Behind The Song

I used to be good friends with a guy and we started a relationship from our friendship. We only talked over the phone and social networking website but never met in person. One day I decided to meet him, and when I did, our relationship suddenly turned opposite of what it used to be. Instead of showing his love he rather say loving words over the phone, and never hugged me when he saw me. Boy, was I agitated and angry with him. I thought he really did care for me, but what's worse is that I was fooled!

Song Description

There comes a time in our lives, when we fall for a girl or guy, and it's when you fell really hard for that person. As time goes on in the relationship, you notice the other person starts to show less interest in you and to make matters worse, they keep you guessing in your relationship about whether they are real for you or not. You don't want to lose this person because you've grown really attached and even love this person so it's hard to let him/or her go. The bitter feelings come when you realize they don't love you back the way you want them to because you were to blind to see the truth behind the player's actions. Lies and deciet play a big part in the relationship making you regret ever being foolish in the first place.

Lyrics

1st verse

I should've known better
than to write I love you in my letter.
'cuz if you really feel how I feel,
Boy you should've kept it real.
When all I did was give my heart to you,
But You played me for a fool,
Why be so cruel?

Chorus
(But) Not this time,
don't want to waste my time.
How Could I be so blind
To think that you were mine?
ooh, Not this time,
Don't wanna lose my mind.
How Could I be so Blind?
To think that you were mine?

2nd verse
I remember the times we spent together.
And our first kiss,
it was all I wanted, my only wish.
And in my dreams I would see your face
but now it's just not the same.
Cuz all I see
are bitter-sweet memories...

Chorus

Bridge
I gave you everything
and all that I am
Oh, a lover and a friend,
someone who can depend,
But now the times have changed,
And now our time has ended.
We could never go back again... Again...

chorus (repeat and add ad-libs until song fades out)
