Not The One
Bella Goldwin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Emotions left to die just to save our lives
Oh, there comes a time in our lives where we say goodbye
Oh, you'll probably say that this was a waste of time
Now I've got to say I'm sorry,
But you're not the one
You thought would last forever,
Now I've got to say I'm sorry,
But our time is done
Falling out of love is treasure
For a new time to come
Please understand that things will heal when given time
Search for the light in the world that will make life bright
Life is a game of change that comes with surprise
Learn from mistakes - they are gifts that will change your life
Now I've got to say I'm sorry,
But you're not the one
You thought would last forever,
But I'm not a God
Now I've got to say I'm sorry,
But our time is done
Falling out of love is treasure
For a new time to come
