Not The One
Gibbz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you dare think of me
Cuz I, I can't be where you are
So as you sit by the phone
Know that it can never be
Cuz I, I am always too far
Wishing on
Wishing on
Wishing all the time.
But I keep pushing
Pushing on
Pushing on
Pushing on, on with my life.
And I am not the one
No, I am not the one
You should be loving
You should be loving
No, I am not the one
No, I am not the one
You should be loving
You should be loving
It takes a long to walk away
And it won't be different if you try to stay
But you're keeping on
Like you already know
And you feel lost
Yeah you feel lost
Like there's no difference in my end after yours
And oh you can't be wrong enough
No, oh you can't be wrong enough
Oh
Cuz I am not the one
No, I am not the one
That you should should be loving
You should be loving
I am not the one
No, I am not the one
You should be loving
You should be loving
I am not the one
No, I am not the one
You should be loving
You should be loving
I am not the one
I am not the one
That you should be loving
You should be loving
I am not the one (I am not the one)
I am not the one (I am not the one)
You should be loving
You should be loving
I am not the one (I am not the one)
I am not the one (I am not the one)
You should be loving
You should be loving
I am not the one
I am not the one
You should be loving
You should be loving
I am not the one you should be loving
The lyrics to Gibbz's song Not the One address the idea of moving on from a past relationship. The repetition of "I am not the one" serves to reinforce the singer's conviction that he is not the person his former partner should be loving. The lines "Don't you dare think of me" and "Know that it can never be" demonstrate a desire to distance himself from his past relationship and a recognition that rekindling the romance would be impossible. Despite this, the ex-partner keeps "wishing on," unable to let go of the hope that things could be different. The singer acknowledges that walking away can be difficult, but ultimately it is necessary for both parties to move on.
In addition to its lyrical content, the song also features a catchy pop sound with electronic influences. The song's chorus is particularly memorable, with the repetition of the titular phrase serving as a strong hook. Gibbz's vocal delivery is confident and assured, emphasizing the message of the lyrics.

When you're alone
When you're by yourself
Don't you dare think of me
Do not even consider the thought of me
Cuz I, I can't be where you are
Because I am unable to be where you are
So as you sit by the phone
As you sit there waiting for a call
Know that it can never be
Understand that it can never happen
Cuz I, I am always too far
Because I am always too distant
So you keep wishing on
So you keep hoping for
But I keep pushing
But I keep moving forward
Pushing on
Continuing to push forward
Pushing on
Continuing to push forward
Pushing on, on with my life.
Continuing to move forward with my life
And I am not the one
I am not the right person
No, I am not the one
No, I am definitely not the right person
You should be loving
That you should love
You should be loving
You should love
It takes a long to walk away
It takes a long time to leave
And it won't be different if you try to stay
And it won't change anything if you try to stay
But you're keeping on
But you're still going
Like you already know
As if you already know
And you feel lost
And you feel confused
Yeah you feel lost
Yes, you really feel confused
Like there's no difference in my end after yours
As if my life is no different after yours

And oh, you cannot be more mistaken
No, oh you can't be wrong enough
No, you cannot be more mistaken
