Not This Time
Toby Ash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Used to be your play toy, loving just for fun
And nothing felt so good as being the
Cheated one
I never stopped to wonder what could
Feed this flame
And ask myself it's you or me that
I should bame
All the time I wondered why
You kept me waiting in the night
Just for your call - but not this time

If you need me, I'll come running
But if it's a game you play
I'll walk away from you

I've been waiting for your call
But not this time
But not this time my love you know that
I've been crying all alone
But not this time
But not this time

You've been hurting me so - but
Not this time
But not this time my love you know that
I've been begging for your love
But not this time
But not this time
Baby don't you mess about with me

You never said my love was something
You could share
And broke my heart so many times
Without a care
Until my dreams were broken I believed
In you




But now I cannot trust the silly things
You do

Used to be your play toy, loving just for fun
I used to be a toy for you, someone you loved just for the sake of fun


And nothing felt so good as being the cheated one
You cheating on me was the only thing that made me feel good


I never stopped to wonder what could feed this flame
I never thought about what was keeping this toxic relationship going


And ask myself it's you or me that I should blame
I never questioned whether you or I were responsible for the problems in our relationship


All the time I wondered why you kept me waiting in the night
I always wondered why you made me wait for you at night


Just for your call - but not this time
But this time I won't wait for your call


If you need me, I'll come running
If you really need me, I will be there for you


But if it's a game you play, I'll walk away from you
But, if you are just playing games with me, I will leave you


I've been waiting for your call, but not this time
I used to wait for your call, but not anymore


But not this time my love you know that
This time, I won't tolerate this behavior anymore


I've been crying all alone, but not this time
I used to cry alone, but not anymore


You've been hurting me so - but not this time
You hurt me a lot, but not anymore


But not this time my love you know that
This time, I won't let you hurt me anymore


I've been begging for your love, but not this time
I used to beg for your love, but not anymore


But not this time
This time, things are going to be different


Baby don't you mess about with me
Don't try to play games with me


You never said my love was something you could share
You never told me that you weren't interested in a serious relationship


And broke my heart so many times without a care
You hurt me so many times, without any concern for me


Until my dreams were broken I believed in you
I had faith in you, until you shattered my dreams


But now I cannot trust the silly things you do
Now, I can't trust anything you do, not even the small things
