Not You
Steven A. Clark Lyrics

Lost in your deep brown eyes
I was so entranced by your eyes that I lost myself

Took my breath away I was surprised
It was unexpected how much you affected me

Never thought I would stay alive
You made me feel more alive than I ever have before

And suddenly I realized.
But now I see things more clearly

The story of you an me
Looking back, our relationship was full of flaws

Was riddled with inconsistencies
There were so many things that didn't add up

Absent of heart too hot to touch
We were too focused on passion and not on emotions

Forgive me but I’ve had too much
I can't keep going like this, it's too much for me

In a net my heart you caught
I was trapped by my feelings for you

Tried so hard to connect the dots
I tried to make sense of our relationship, but it was no use

Never knew that this could be
I didn't realize how toxic our relationship was until now

But today I’m choosing me
I'm putting myself first and choosing to move on

You’ve tried and failed to read my mind
You don't understand how I feel, no matter how hard you try

It’s you not me I've realized
Our problems aren't my fault, they're yours

I’m not giving in this time
I won't let you drag me back into this toxic relationship

You don’t see my heart's true size
You don't appreciate how much I care about myself

I am not a compromise
I won't settle for anything less than I deserve

I’m no chump I am the prize
I know my own worth and I won't let anyone bring me down

Your skin so smooth it calls to me
I'm still attracted to you, even if I know it's not good for me

Hard to resist you're my nemesis
You're a temptation that's hard to resist

Dug down deep to rebuild myself
I've had to work hard to recover from this relationship

Started a new, my own genesis
I'm creating a new life for myself

Regret is covering your face
I can tell that you regret how things turned out

Don’t want you back now how’s that taste
I've moved on and I don't want you in my life anymore

A Yummy new life can’t go to waste
I've worked too hard to create my new life, I won't let it be ruined

I Put myself in first place
My needs and wants come first now

On my own can’t keep me down
I'm strong enough to stand on my own

Here to serve so where’s my crown?
I deserve recognition and appreciation for putting myself first

It’s my show now take a seat
I'm in charge of my own life from now on

I’m the love I want to meet
I don't need anyone else to be happy, I can love myself

I choose me
My top priority is myself

I'm my own true love
The love I have for myself is more important than any other
