It's Not Love - Leona Williams

I told you I had to leave I had my reasons I said that it hurt to stay, honey The way that I'm feeling It's not love That left you standing It's not love That left you cold It's not love Misunderstanding Only a mistake There's nothing left to take Why, baby, why did you make me let you go? Leave you so lonely Why, baby, why did you have to hold on? You know it's not love anymore I gave you your last chance But you didn't believe me You can't keep me satisfied The way that you treat me It's not love That left you standing It's not love That left you cold It's not love Misunderstanding Only a mistake There's nothing left to take Why, baby, why did you make me let you go? Leave you so lonely Why, baby, why? Stop playing with my heart I told you It's not love Telling you to be this way It's not love Saying you can never change It's not love When I told you Is he putting you down? Down, down, down It's not love It's not love It's not love It's not love It's not love It's not love It's not love It's not love It's not love That left you standing It's not love That left you cold It's not love Misunderstanding Only a mistake There's nothing left to take Why, baby, why did you make me let you go? Leave you so lonely Why, baby, why? Stop playing with my heart I told you It's not love, why, baby, why? It's not love, why, baby, why? It's not love, why, baby, why? It's not love, why, baby, why? It's not love

He broke your heart and said goodbye After promising forever You wonder why you even tried He was such a good pretender The love you gave was all in vain And nothing anyone can say Could ever make you love that way again It's the lover, not the love Who broke your heart last night It's the lover, not the dream That didn't work out right If you listen to your heart Ooh, you'll know it's true It's the lover, not the love Who deserted you Don't stop reaching for the stars Let tomorrow live inside you And just remember who you are Keep the faith and love will find you A heart in love can lose, it's true But don't give up in time to find The one who's right will come to you It's the lover, not the love Who broke your heart last night It's the lover, not the dream That didn't work out right If you listen to your heart Ooh, you'll know it's true It's the lover, not the love Who deserted you It does no good to second guess Whether love is wrong or right If it was really meant to be He'd be with you tonight, tonight, yeah It's the lover, not the love Who broke your heart last night It's the lover, not the dream That didn't work out right If you listen to your heart Ooh, you'll know it's true It's the lover, not the love Who deserted you

There's a day when all hearts will be broken When a shadow will cast out the light And our eyes cry a million tears Help won't arrive There's a day when all courage collapses And our friends turn and leave us behind Creatures of darkness will triumph The sun won't rise When we've lost all hope And succumb to fear As the skies rain blood And the end draws near I may fall But not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall Not this place, not today I may fall Bring it all-it's not enough to take me down I may fall There's a place where we'll stand outnumbered Where the wolves and the soul-less will rise In the time of our final moments Every dream dies There's a place where our shields will lay shattered And the fears all that's left in our hearts Strength and our courage have run out We fall apart When we lose our faith And forsake our friends When the moon is gone And we reach our end I may fall There's a moment that changes a life when We do something that no one else can And the path that we've taken will lead us One final stand There's a moment we make a decision Not to cower and crash to the ground The moment we face our worst demons Our courage found When we stand with friends And we won't retreat As we stare down death Then the taste is sweet I may fall But not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall Not this place, not today I may fall Bring it all-it's not enough to take me down I may fall I may fall I may fall I may I may fall

When I was young If I just closed my eyes Then I could go anywhere Dream of any place Imagination set the pace And my heart was happy there What a shame that you came Round and told me Said my dreams can't come true "Don't be foolish Give up your wish Big things aren't for you" And how you'd scold and chide me Forever criticize me But now I think I know the truth You were the one Who held me down and told me I was heading nowhere You said know your place Accept your fate and show good face And be thankful that you're there That was so long ago When you owned me I believed it was true Bend me shape me Build me break me Why was I your fool? And now I'm so much stronger I'm not yours any longer I've got a message here for you Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near Hey wait turn and show your face I've got a lot to say And you're not going anywhere You lose; the time you ruled me's through I'm in control I own my soul And I'll never go back there Wasted years that I spent Never knowing I was kept, I was used Never-ending Condescending Now I just refuse I don't care what it costs me I know I almost lost me Won't spend another day confused You rose I fell Made my life hell Anything to crush my soul Anything to feel control Finally free I've come so far Finally see how sick you are I spent my life degraded But I won't leave here jaded I'll start again and finally prove Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near
