Not My Girlfriend
Vynce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the boy who said he'd take your breath away,
And I'll take a wide line,
And I'll let you figure out your own mistakes.
I can't do this anymore,
I can't do this anymore,
I can't do this anymore, I heard you say,
I can't do this anymore,
No, I can't do this anymore, no not today.
She's not my girlfriend,
She's not my girlfriend,
She's not my girlfriend,
But that's okay.
Where do you go to,
When I see you wandering, walking through the town,
Love is upon you,
Like the feeling of not having you around.
I can't do this anymore,
I can't do this anymore,
I can't do this anymore, I heard you say,
I can't do this anymore,
I can't do this anymore,
No, I can't do this anymore, no not today.
She's not my girlfriend,
She's not my girlfriend,
She's not my girlfriend,
But that's okay.
She's not my girlfriend,
She's not my girlfriend,
She's not my girlfriend,
But that's okay
The song Not My Girlfriend by Vynce tells a story about a complicated relationship that the singer is in. The opening lines describe a new day with a sunrise for the boy who said he would take your breath away. The singer takes a wide line and lets the listener figure out their own mistakes. This may imply that the singer has been hurt before, and now he is not willing to participate in any more emotional drama.
The chorus of the song states several times that "she's not my girlfriend, but that's okay." This line repeats several times, and it seems to serve as a reminder to himself that he does not want to get too involved in this messy situation. The rest of the lyrics describe the singer's frustration with the relationship. He hears his partner saying that she cannot do this anymore, and he may be feeling the same way. He wonders where she goes when she's walking around town, and he feels the looming presence of love even when she's not there.
Overall, the song is about trying to keep things casual and not get too invested in a relationship. It expresses the desire to avoid getting hurt again and the difficulty of keeping things light when intense emotions are involved. The repetition of the phrase "she's not my girlfriend, but that's okay" emphasizes the singer's attempt to stay detached.
