Not This Time
Namy & Kathy Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know some things going wrong
We make up to breake up
And right now my heart is gone
I don′t wanna feel this way inside
So its hard to carry on
There's no way I can keep you around
No way no how
Not this time
Not this time baby
Not this time
Not this baby
Now that it′s over
I fee dope with you aside
The crying it's over
And there's no more tears in my eyes
It feels so amazing
Pushing all my hair to the side
And just like I′ve told you
I live for the very last time
The lyrics to "Not This Time" by Namy & Kathy Brown describe the end of a romantic relationship where the singer has reached their breaking point. The singer wakes up knowing that something is wrong and they feel that they are constantly on the verge of breaking up. They don’t want to feel this way anymore and know that they have to end the relationship. The lines "We make up to break up/And right now my heart is gone" allude to the toxic cycle of the relationship where the couple can't seem to stay together for long without falling apart again.
The chorus "Not this time/Not this time baby/Not this time/Not this baby" is a declaration to their partner that the singer is not willing to keep going through the same patterns and pain again. The singer has made up their mind and there is no going back. The second verse talks about the aftermath of the breakup where the singer's tears have dried up and they feel amazing not having their partner around. They are reclaiming their life and their happiness once again. The line "And just like I’ve told you/I live for the very last time" shows finality of the situation – the singer won't give their partner another chance.
Overall, "Not This Time" is a powerful statement of self-love and the courage to end a toxic relationship for the sake of personal well-being. The lyrics highlight the emotions of a heartbroken lover, the tragedies of a failing relationship, and the hope for a better future.
